sterilization for a woman still is. The last time I asked I was 32, and was told that I was still too young for any doctors that clinic knew of. I had a miscarriage a year later and it did enough damage that I will never have to worry again. It was terrifying when it happened, but I'm glad it did.

It's hard to believe that these things are still so recent. The time frame gets to me every time. Eisenstadt v. Baird happened the year I was born.
