====Women in the household==== Some people believe that sterilization gives women, in particular, more control over their [[Human female sexuality|sexuality]] and their [[Human reproduction|reproduction]]. This can lead to empowering women, giving them more of a sense of ownership over their bodies, and an improved relationship with the household.<ref name="Seeking Zero Growth">STOLC, Phyllis E W. "Seeking Zero Growth: Population Policy in China and India". ''Graduate Journal of Asia-Pacific Studies''. 6.2 (2008): 10β32.</ref> In the [[United States]], where there are no governmental incentives for being sterilized (see below), the decision is often made for personal and familial reasons. A woman, sometimes along with her partner, can decide that she does not want any more children or she does not want children at all. Many women report feeling more sexually liberated after being sterilized, as there is no concern of a pregnancy risk.<ref name="The Decision to End Childbearing by Sterilization">Abell, P. K. "The Decision to End Childbearing by Sterilization." ''Family Relations''. 36.1 (1987): 66β71.</ref> By eliminating the risk of having more children, a woman can commit to a long-term job without a disruption of [[maternity leave]] in the future. A woman will feel more empowered since she can make a decision about her body and her life. Sterilization eliminates the need for potential [[abortions]], which can be a very stressful decision overall.<ref name="The Decision to End Childbearing by Sterilization" />
