Short question from someone living in the EU. How is the US currently dealing with the aftermath of Roe vs Wade?

My wife had her tubes tied. It was a point of contention for a while and her doctor always said no as she was still strongly within child bearing age. As soon as RvW was overturned, her obgyn said yes without hesitationnand 45 days later it was done.

I understand her reasons, and I respect them, even if there is some sadness and in part mourning on my end as it's a potential loss of something that might have ever happened. But the fact is, I have a child, and they were tough to raise. My wife doesn't want to do that again, even if she had her own child with me.

Well, I understand your opinion. However, I kinda not understand the first part... It's her body. Why would the doctor say no to begin with?

It's surprisingly common for women under 35. A common wow being "you're still young and you might change your mind"
