TUBAL LIGATION
Permanent Birth Control
for Women
If a woman is ready--really ready--to stop having
children; or if she is certain--really certain--that she will never want to
have children, she might want to consider tubal ligation.
Tubal ligation is an operation for women that results in permanent
sterilization: no babies, for good, period.
It isn't something to be considered lightly. This leaflet is a guide to that
consideration. |
