It really is crazy how many nutjobs are doctors. I remember simply asking about a vasectomy at my primary care doctor, and he said, "Not at your age (32)" and he handed me a pamphlet to a religious "counseling" group. Needless to say, I changed doctors and reported him to my insurance. I was irritated, but I can't imagine how this woman felt being denied medication to alleviate her pain and allow her to function because she might get pregnant. WTF?

My vasectomy consult went smoothly at the same age, just for an extra data point. He did ask if I was sure, and whether I had any desire to have kids, which I think is standard procedure, but he didn't try to talk me out of it.

Mine, at 30, didn't even ask that. I just said "I wanted a vasectomy", he was like "OK", gave his spiel, sounded like he was tired of giving it, like it was the 100th time that week.

This was a few months after Roe was overturned, and I'm in a dark blue city.
