Oh, and "I hope it gives her a feeling of control in her life". Gosh, how big of him. Wonder what the odds of effective birth control giving a feeling of control are.
Ass.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Depends on the method.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
how many of us always made smart decisions in our early twenties?
I had a tubal ligation at the same time as I gave birth to my second child at the age of 24. I've never regretted it or thought it wasn't a smart decision on my part.
In fact I was very fortunate in my doctor. I was no longer in the Navy when I had my second child and my doctor was a civilian. He had no problem giving me the tubal ligation. The Navy? No way Jose, not under the age of 30 with children, never if unmarried or married w/o children.

I'm glad that it worked out that way for you and that you didn't have any problem getting it done and that it was the right decision for you. And I'm am positive that for other women in that age range that making the same decision was the right thing for them to do.
My point there was that in reference to him bringing the things up that he did, maybe he did because very often people in their early twenties make rash or impulsive decisions that they regret later on.

I still think that he questioned his patient the way a parent would question a child, rather than offering a statement or two about how reversing it in the future could have a lot of difficulties.
Kid: "I wanna spend my whole allowance on cannnnnndy!!!!"
Parent: "You might want to use some of the money to buy a new Battlebot later."
Kid: "Candy! Candy!"
Parent: "What if the toy store has the GI Joe with kung-fu grip? Do you think you might want it? You'd have to save some money for it."
Kid: "I. Want. CANDY!!!!"
Parent: "What if we're at Wal-Mart and you see a video game you want? Then you'll be sorry that you spent all your money on candy."
Kid: "Candy! I'll cut you, I swear. CANDY!!!!"

I love my mentor. we're discussing a stubborn problem, and I say over IM: "What if that doesn't work? Go to Florida and kick him?" And my mentor says, "No, you can't go, hire a kickman."
"Yo, Vinnie! We got a call! We're headin' over to Sarasota to kick a guy!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Man, if I hadn't already had "I Want Candy" in my head, that would have done it for sure.

I admit, I have candy on the brain, because I have everything for my Secret Santa and just need to stop at Trader Joe's on the way home to get some candycandycandy (and their version of Oreos -- Trader Jo-Jos -- that have peppermint cream filling) and I can send out the package.
