[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My catholic friend made a "deal with god" so that she could get her tubes tied.  I wasn't aware that you could do this.  However it seems to be a pretty slick option. [/quote]

Haha---I just recently learned that my own mother also exercised this option after Baby #8.  Long before I ever knew that she had her tubes tied, she had always portrayed Baby #8's birth as a life-threatening emergency (it wasn't---I work in healthcare and, knowing the details, can say this with absolute certainty)--she just needed to believe this to justify her decision in her own mind and to my father.  Makes me nauseous when I hear my father rant about how it's unconstitutional for Catholic institutions to be "forced" to provide contraception.  I don't want to betray my mother who confided in me but I just want to strangle him as he sits and soaks up stupid Fox News all day everyday.  Oh how I would love to see the reaction on his face if I asked him if he was grateful that my mom had access to permanent contraception when they needed/wanted it.  Oh what tangled webs we Catholic families weave!
