A young woman has been left outraged after a doctor refused to 'tie her tubes' in case she meets 'Mr Right' later in life. Olivia Downs, 23, says she visited her doctor to enquire about tubal ligation, a surgical procedure for female sterilisation, knowing she doesn't want to have children.
The procedure, which takes only 30 minutes to carry out, involves permanently blocking, clipping or removing the fallopian tubes to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. But as it's a permanent birth control, the doctor outright refused her request, claiming she's only young and could change her mind about parenthood.
