Why Do Doctors Get to Decide When a Woman Is Old Enough to Have Her 'Tubes Tied'?

The graphic is my comment.

Women under 30 who have made the decision not to have children often find their requests for tubal ligation procedures denied -- simply for the reason that doctors think they are "too young."

As usual, I'm not finished.

Although expensive, tubal ligation can be reversed so long as one of the most reversible methods are used.
