Insurance will not cover unnecessary prcedures-you will have to pay for it out of your pocket.
The chances are slim that the vas won't take. So, if you would have an abortion ANYway, what's the problem? It's a means to avoid it isn't it? NO medical procedure comes with a 100% guarantee.
There are so many incidents where a "couple" decides they never want children. Then tragedy hits and one dies. The person remaining moves on and finds another love who DOES want children...
I am unsure if any legal ramifications exist for a Doctor who performs such operations without psychological evaluation. They may be vulnerable somehow. (Where are the legal eagles?)
This is one of those issues that people may never find common ground.

That's why, although a vasectomy is easier than a tubal, I'd probably get fixed instead of Mr. valkyrie -- I know that I never, ever, ever want children no matter what, but maybe he would someday if we weren't together and he was with someone who desperately wanted them.
I'd get a tubal tomorrow if I had health insurance that covered it or the money. Unfortunately, I have neither health insurance nor money right now, so it's not going to happen. I don't know about the legal ramifications for doctors -- personally, I don't think there should be any legal risks for a doctor who performs a sterilization on someone who requests it. I know I'd have a hard time finding someone to do the operation since I haven't had kids -- from all I've heard, it's much more difficult for a woman without kids to get sterilized than for a man. Lovely.
