Reply #182: I was speaking mainly to

what I have seen here. :shrug: Why I said most, though should of said some. I never thought to see if it was law or doctors/hospitals that required spouse signatures to get tubes tied either. Might be a CYA buy the docs/hospitals there but seems to be common in my area. I saw area because I am in a tristate area and each of the 3 closest hospitals are in different states. You got me to thinking about who imposes the restrictions now. Glad you had no problems and they let you decide for your self. It irks me when it seems the powers that be don't believe a women can think for herself and it still happens.
Also things have changed, like insurance prescription plans now having to cover birth control pills if the cover viagra etc. Many here didn't cover birth control pills until forced too.
