... there will be more younger women that will seriously consider sterilization.
There are a few forms of sterilization that comes to mind. But, the idea sterilization will be used to prevent births is alarming. The options for life's ambitions for men and women will narrow and extreme choices will come into sight.
Sometimes it takes a few years, even ten or more, for a couple to find their path forward to prosperity. But, at the end of that process, the couple may decide the path forward defines room for children. I would hate to think these couples would choose sterilization and later find their only real answer to have children is adoption or surrogate mothers or test tube fertilization only to have the eggs implanted to the woman's uterus.
These realities will become more prominent as abortion will no longer be a choice.
Abandoning abortion is completely wrong. Taking abortion away from these women will result in sterilization. They are not hard wired to children as their life's ambition. They see children as an enhancement to their lives.

The surrogate mother is impregnated through artificial insemination with the sperm of the husband from the couple who have hired her. The surrogate is thus the genetic mother of the baby....
