I think it's a tad ridiculous, but their rationale is that you may change your mind. But aren't those procedures reversible?

From what I understand, tubal ligations can be reversible, but the success rate for such procedures might be between 30 and 60% (don’t quote me on that, though). I also understand that there are a number of women who will wish to have the tubal ligation reversed within a few years after having it done (about 5%). I understand the logic behind waiting a little while, but is there ever a point when a doctor will just do the procedure? I think it’s ridiculous to refuse to do this for every woman who has never had children. Not everyone is made to procreate!
