Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, clinics in the U.S. have seen an increase in patients asking to be sterilized, including requests for vasectomies. But some people seeking sterilization procedures across the U.S. are being turned away.
Dani Marietti’s “sterilization shower” in Helena, Montana, features cookies with abortion-rights slogans, such as “My Body, My Choice,” written on them in frosting.
The uncertainty around abortion access in Montana and other states where abortion is now or could become illegal, plus the fear of future legal fights over long-term contraception, has seemingly spurred a rise in the number of people seeking surgical sterilization, according to reports from doctors. That includes Marietti, who is having a— a procedure in which the fallopian tubes are removed instead of tied, as in tubal ligation, which can be reversible.
Arora, an OB-GYN in North Carolina, recounted what one of her patients said just before a recent surgery: “She wanted to have autonomous control over her body, and this was her way of ensuring she was the person who got to make the decisions.” Most are asking to have their tubes removed to permanently prevent pregnancy. A smaller number of people are asking for hysterectomies, which surgically remove part or all of the uterus. To meet demand, Bozeman Deaconess has dedicated at least one provider to work with these patients multiple days a week.
