While it is true that anyone saying at 22 that they know for sure definitely that they will never have children might change their mind, it doesn't matter. We let people make all sorts of regrettable, life-altering decisions at 22. At 22, you can be 4 years into your service contract with the armed forces. You could have already died or have been permanently disabled due to these choices. At 22, you can be a few years into a college education in a major you now know you hate. At 22, you can be 4 years into a marriage to an abusive partner. Or just an asshole. These are just a few of the choices you can come to regret later in life. Choices that you cannot change. Choices you will have to live with for the rest of your life. That fundamentally alter all of the choices available to you later in life. So why should potential regret stay our hand here? Yes, she may regret getting her tubes tied and making conception for her impossible. Oh well. Actions have consequences.
