Georgia Sterilization Doctors List
Welcome to the list of Doctors in the State of Georgia who are willing to tie your tubes, regardless of Child Free Status, Marital Status or Family Size, - as long as you are age 21 or older! I created this site as an expansion of the Tubal List going around on Social Media. Here you will find Two different types of Mapping to make it easier for you to find the right doctor for YOU.
The first map is a map to where you can find the doctors office closest to you via either Zip Code or City and State. The double arrow to the right of the find locations button is how you can switch between zip code and city and state. You can use this map to get driving directions to your doctor's office.
The second map is where you can find the doctor's website, phone number, and most importantly, client reviews. These two maps used together will help you to make a fully informed decision on YOUR healthcare and YOUR right to have bodily autonomy. Click on the square button at the top left of the second map and you will be shown a list of the doctor's offices. Click on the square at the top right of the map and you can view a larger map in a new tab.
The third map is an interactive state by state map that links to all of the other state pages here on this site. This will help those of you who live in bordering states where the closest doctor is in another state, then you can click on the neighboring state in order to get the doctor's website, phone number, and client reviews.
I am able to keep this site completely free to use, paid for by the use of my free prescription discount card listed before the first map and also listed right after the third map. Please save the card and share it with all of your friends. Also please share this site with everyone you know!
I am happy to help you in your journey in getting your Tubes Tied!

Georgia Reproductive Laws
The landscape of women's reproductive rights across the United States has become a complex and often deeply contested mosaic, with individual states charting vastly different courses in the wake of significant federal legal shifts. Georgia, a state that has long been a focal point in national political and social debates, exemplifies this evolving dynamic, presenting a particularly fluid and frequently challenged environment for reproductive healthcare. Understanding the current state of affairs in Georgia requires a close examination of its legislative actions, pivotal court decisions, and the resulting practical implications for its residents.
For many years, even under the federal protections of Roe v. Wade, Georgia maintained a legal framework that allowed for abortion access, though it also implemented a number of restrictions. These included a 24-hour mandatory waiting period, parental consent requirements for minors (with a judicial bypass option), and various regulations on abortion clinics. The state's political climate has often seen a strong push for more restrictive abortion laws, reflecting a significant segment of the electorate's views, leading to frequent legislative attempts to curtail access, many of which faced legal challenges.
The most significant turning point for reproductive rights across the nation came with the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization in June 2022. This landmark ruling overturned Roe v. Wade, eliminating the federal constitutional right to abortion and returning the authority to regulate or ban abortion entirely to individual states. For Georgia, the Dobbs decision immediately intensified the ongoing debate and legal battles over abortion access, as the state had already enacted a significant new restriction that was poised to take effect.
Prior to the Dobbs ruling, in 2019, Georgia passed the "Living Infants Fairness and Equality (LIFE) Act," often referred to as a "heartbeat" bill. This legislation prohibited abortions once embryonic cardiac activity could be detected, which is typically around six weeks of pregnancy, often before a person even knows they are pregnant. This law was immediately challenged in court and blocked from taking effect under Roe v. Wade. However, with the overturning of Roe, a federal appeals court quickly allowed Georgia's six-week ban to go into effect in July 2022.
Under Georgia's current legal framework, abortion is largely prohibited once embryonic cardiac activity is detected, which is generally around six weeks of gestation. This near-total ban includes very narrow exceptions. Abortions are permitted to save the life of the pregnant person, or when a pregnancy is medically determined to be "medically futile," meaning the fetus would not survive outside the womb. The law also includes exceptions for cases of rape or incest, but only if a police report has been filed. This requirement for a police report adds a significant barrier for victims of sexual violence who may be hesitant or unable to report the crime. The six-week ban effectively means that for most individuals, abortion access is severely limited or non-existent in Georgia.
The enforcement of this ban carries severe penalties for medical providers. Performing or assisting in an abortion outside of the very narrow exceptions can lead to felony charges and potential prison time for doctors and other healthcare professionals. This threat of criminalization has created a significant chilling effect within the medical community, leading to concerns about the availability of comprehensive reproductive healthcare, even in emergency situations where a person's health might be severely compromised but their life not yet immediately threatened, or where a police report for rape or incest has not been filed.
Beyond abortion, the broader landscape of reproductive healthcare in Georgia is also subject to ongoing scrutiny. While contraception remains legal and accessible, the highly restrictive abortion laws contribute to an environment where access to comprehensive reproductive health services may become more challenging. The "fetal personhood" language within the LIFE Act, which grants legal personhood to a fetus from the moment cardiac activity is detected, raises broader questions about its potential implications for other areas of law, including tax deductions for unborn children and child support, though its direct impact on contraception has not been established.
The practical impact of Georgia's stringent abortion laws on its residents is profound. For individuals seeking abortion care beyond the six-week mark or who cannot meet the police report requirement for rape/incest exceptions, the near-total ban necessitates traveling out of state to jurisdictions where abortion remains legal. This imposes substantial financial and logistical burdens, including costs for travel, accommodation, and the procedure itself, in addition to the need to take time off work or arrange childcare. These barriers disproportionately affect low-income individuals, those in rural areas with limited transportation, and marginalized communities who already face systemic barriers to healthcare. The reduction in abortion providers also means fewer clinics offering other essential reproductive health services, such as STI testing, cancer screenings, and general gynecological care, as these services are often integrated.
The legal and political environment surrounding reproductive rights in Georgia is far from settled. While the six-week ban is currently in effect, it continues to face legal challenges. Advocates for reproductive freedom are exploring various avenues to expand access or challenge the strictness of the current laws, including potential future ballot initiatives, though the process for such initiatives in Georgia can be challenging. Opponents remain vigilant in defending and potentially expanding the existing prohibitions. The future of reproductive rights in Georgia will undoubtedly continue to be shaped by these ongoing legal challenges, legislative battles, and the evolving will of the electorate.
In conclusion, Georgia represents a critical and highly contested battleground in the national debate over reproductive rights. The state's current legal framework, dominated by a six-week abortion ban with very narrow exceptions, severely restricts access to abortion. This situation has created significant practical challenges for women in Georgia seeking reproductive healthcare and underscores the profound impact of state-level legal and political decisions on individual access to fundamental health services.
