... whereas I'm one of those people who would have drowned her babies in ancient times, if the herbal tinctures to induce abortion didn't work of course.
I wish there was such a thing as 100% effective birth control... short of having your uterus removed... wouldn't it be nice if there was just an on/off switch and you'd just have to flip it to off and your body wouldn't do the whole menstruation/pregnancy thing..? because if you're not getting pregnant, you don't need the buildup of blood and tissue that then becomes the horrible menstruation... and then since apparently some people want to have children they could just flip it back "on" when they wanted...
>Currently, an estimated 700,000 American women undergo tubal ligation each year, making it the most common form of contraception in the United States.
uh, what? tubal ligation more common than condoms or birth control pills? I don't think so.
Hope their procedure works better than their copy editors...
Sounds scary. But the idea of permanent birth control is marvelous. Though if I manage to see at least one child a week, that's birth control enough for me. mwaha.
