Tubal ligation at 23, with Daniela Echeverry

Daniela Echeverry is a 23 year old Colombian woman who recently received permanent birth control. I spoke to her six months after her tubal ligation, and she sounded so happy and healthy, with no regrets about her decision. It was really interesting to hear from someone in a majority Catholic, South American country, where access to reproductive healthcare is really restricted - even though Daniela herself didn't have too much trouble getting the operation she needed. Of course, I'm not a doctor, so if you're considering a tubal ligation, or a similar procedure, please seek medical advice. I'm just here to support women embracing their choices, whatever those may be - you go, Daniela!
