4:19Now PlayingHolly Brockwell wanted to get sterilized but faced a mountain of resistance from doctors trying to block her decision. After a four year legal battle, she has finally won. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Holly Brockwell is happy to report that she isn't expecting kids — not now, and not ever. She just won a four-year legal battle with the National Health Service for the right to be sterilized.
Brockwell first asked her doctor about getting her tubes tied when she was 26 and was met with a series of patronizing comments from healthcare providers, according to The Telegraph. One doctor reportedly suggested that Brockwell's boyfriend get a vasectomy because she was "too young" to think about such a permanent birth control decision.
After speaking publicly about her choice, Brockwell was bombarded with online harassment and violent threats...
It's common for women around the world to face discrimination when they seek out permanent birth control.
