Frustrated

 The Headline at the New York Post

‘Frustrated’ young women are trying to get sterilized after overturning of Roe

The article talks about one woman's experience in trying to get sterilized, a procedure known as a tubal ligation.  

 Young women who declare they don’t want children have always faced pushback, but the US Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn the landmark abortion decision Roe v. Wade, has forced Americans — and particularly women of childbearing age — to seriously consider how to manage their bodies as their reproductive rights and choices diminish.

Abortion was never supposed to be a contraceptive choice.  And, the Dobbs decision did not diminish any rights.  I'm one of those Americans who believe that abortion should be safe, legal, and rare. I've always supported exceptions for rape, incest, and to protect the life of the mother.   But, I could never support the use of abortion simply because someone made a bad decision.  I believe every woman should have full control of her reproductive system and make informed choices to control reproduction.  Those choices and decisions begin long before the need for an abortion arises.

I was under the impression that New York was supposed to be an open abortion state. Did that change?
