I'm guessing the reason for doc's not listening to us when we are young is because they are afraid we'll get older and regret it then want to sue them. You know how people can be. "But i was too young and didn't know what I was talking about!" I think it should be my decision since it's my body but I can see the other side too. Plus I know there are women who changed their mind. I know a lot of women who swore they didn't want kids but ended up having them later. I just knew I was one of those people not destined for kids. How could I explain that to a doc and have them believe me? They aren't going to buy, I just know.
Oh yes, I know the phemomenon well of the period schedule with other women. I've heard other women say it as well. It always happens. The only thing is, where I work, almost all the women I work with have either had a hysterectomy or are going through menopause!
I guess the reason the doctors won't do it when women are young is because of the possibility of suing, but is that really something that would stand up in Court? After one is an adult, one should take responsibility for one's own actions, I can't believe that a Court would side with the woman.
Look at Roe vs Wade. The woman is now regretting her decision (now of course) and is trying to change the law, and trying to give every reason under the sun as to why she wasn't - in control, mentally stable, emotionally responsible,
whatever - when she brought up her case.
It's these situations that give women a bad name in society.
Suppose something like a woman regretting getting her tubes tied when she was in her early 20's does come up in court, all that has to happen for the woman to win her case against a doctor is basically for her to testify in front of the judge and maybe a jury and cry and sob and bemoan her inability to have babies and the tragedy of a poor decision made when she was young - and it's all the doctor's fault.
Most companies I've worked for that deal directly with the public all agree that if the issue of children come into any lawsuit, it's always better to settle out of court even if the injured party is clearly in the wrong because no jury will side with the
big mean corporations
big bad doctors
name your demonized organization
Is it any wonder women in society still have a reputation of being indecisive, waffly, emotionally unstable, wanting to please their menfolk and unreasonable?
I'm one of those women who made up my mind when I was 5 years old that I didn't want kids. All these years later, I still don't and for the same reasons. Nothing has changed that, not any man, nor any hormones, nor the plump, diapered bundles of germs (babies) that my friends have had and are currently showing off.
