Hannah Anderson doesn’t want children. The 27-year-old Coloradan wants to be able to hop on a plane when wanderlust calls. She wants a financial cushion free of child-related costs. She dreams of dedicating time and energy toward fostering animals. Over the years, Anderson cycled through numerous birth control options — intrauterine devices and contraceptive injections — that caused her negative side effects and distress. A couple of years ago, when Anderson was sure she desired a child-free future, she told her doctor she wanted permanent birth control: sterilization. Anderson’s doctor refused, saying someday she might have a husband who wants kids. “It’s very demeaning,” Anderson said. “I felt like, ‘Are they allowed to say this? Am I being punked?’ If my future husband wants kids then that’s not the right person for me.”
