I totally agree with you regarding vasectomy versus a tubal. That had been my husband's plan originally, to get that done after we've had as many children as we like. Unfortunately with his health issues that came up, it's really safer for me to get the tubal than for him to get that done. But in general, I definitely think vasectomies are the more practical option all around.
And I really agree with the rest of your post too. I can't really add to it. Just, I agree.
"And I've always defended P for choosing to carry through with her pregnancy with H, despite the grief and the hardship that came with it for me personally, because that's the price I pay for being a pro-woman advocate for choice

"One, I love you for feeling this way or at least trying to feel this way. It's one thing to SAY you believe in this manner. But very few women have to go through the situation that you have gone through and have to actually LIVE this scenario."
Thank you. Ideologically, it's easy to defend her choice. Her body, her choice. Emotionally, it's been a totally different ballgame, obviously, especially in the early times when I was financially assisting in the support of the kid, yet not even allowed to have him on my own.
Just recently, I argued with B's best friend that P did, in fact, not "owe B an abortion." He said that since P had always insisted that she would have one if she got pregnant, it was a verbal contract she should honor. I obviously disagreed. Reproductive rights are not estate deals and should not be treated as such. Nobody knows how pregnancy will effect them until they're right in the middle of it
