Granted this was in the early 80's, but my mom needed to have her tubes tied since the docs explained that if she had anymore kids after my sister and I plus a miscarriage, anyone of the following situations would happen.
1. She'd die.
2. The fetus would be born dead.
3. All of the above.
Yet the military physicians still tried to have my dad get a vasectomy because it was "cheaper." At least that was how it was explained later on, but they had no problem fixing my mom's broken nose after an infant kicked her face. Go figure.
