Many Australian women in their 20s and 30s are being denied access to permanent contraception, with some doctors refusing to discuss sterilisation options. This has sparked concerns over reproductive autonomy and women's health. Women's rights advocates argue that it's essential for females to have control over their reproductive choices, including access to permanent birth control methods like tubal ligation and essence sterilisation. The refusal to provide or discuss such options raises questions about gender bias and medical ethics. With the rise of feminist movements and reproductive health awareness, it's crucial for medical professionals to re-examine their stance on female sterilisation.
