Find a decent doctor, medicare or otherwise, who will sterilize a 15 year old girl and I'll be really surprised. I had 2 kids, 2 additional pregnancies and was 26 years old and the doctor (the one I was paying, and NOT on an HMO), refused. So did 3 other doctors.

So it's not so easy to get tubes tied. Not that I don't think it's a great idea... having one baby so young is a mistake (or plain stupidity) and having more babies after that so young is straight up stupidity.


note: before everyone freaks out about my use of the word "mistake", I don't mean to imply that the child has less worth, but that the parents in question made a mistake, be that in "I thought babies were cute, and I wanted one as a teenager" or "I chose to have unprotected sex."
