“Your body, your choice – if you go abroad and pay.”
“I cried tears of joy because for the first time in my life doctors and nurses treated me like a human being, not like a potential incubator.”
I live in Poland, where tubal ligation is illegal, but vasectomy is available in every big city.
During my life I was denied contraception many times. There were situations that doctors denied me pill prescription due to their religious views.
I never found a doctor who would agree on IUD insertion because I had never given birth.
I had to travel to different country, to an abortion clinic, to get my sterilization done. Of course I paid for the procedure, it was not covered by my insurance.
I cried tears of joy because for the first time in my life doctors and nurses treated me like a human being, not like a potential incubator.
I was not asked to explain why I want this method of birth control.
Your body, your choice – so simple. If you go abroad and pay.
I wish everyone had money to afford being treated with respect.
