Some people in the US are rushing to get sterilized after the Roe v. Wade ruling
CNN
In the wake of the reversal of the federal right to an abortion, gynecologists say they have seen an increase in women and non-binary people requesting tubal ligation -- more commonly referred to as tying tubes.
The 26-year-old had considered sterilization in recent years but had not taken any steps. Then came the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, and she started spending her evenings searching online for surgeons who conduct the procedure on young people.
"I was afraid that it would be hard to find a doctor to perform a tubal ligation, as I am a young, single female in a red, conservative state," said Carden, who lives in Irving, Texas.
