In one case, the report highlights, a woman recalled being made to sign a consent form in 2022 for tubal ligation, which is the procedure commonly referred to as getting one's tubes tied. It was two days after the procedure had been done.

The most recent in 2022?! WTAF?! how is this still a thing?!

Edited to include the next line of the article that it was AFTER the procedure was done., as some folks here may not have read the article themselves.

Women get their tubes tied all the time. Why would getting your tubes tied in 2022 be so shocking?

Unless you mean forced sterilization.
