I get why this is a barbaric procedure to perform in a setting where a caesarian section is possible. What I don't get is why the Irish Catholic church insisted on it. The Wikipedia article mentions that during the time some catholics promoted to do sterilisation together with C sections. I get that catholics are cunts regarding contraception but why couldn't they just do a C section without a sterilisation? Did they give any reason for their raging misogyny?
You can only do so many c sections before you get too much scar tissue build up to be able to do another one safely. Hence why the standing recommendation is no more than 3.
If you cut the pelvis open you don't have to do a c section, so the woman could keep having babies.
That is just... Vile and nonsensical. There would be no problems giving the women C sections the first three times but God gets angry if we mess with his baby makers?
No, the standing recommendation is based on that it is a major surgery and that should be kept to a minimum. The risk of complications from a surgery increases every successive time as they don't tend to heal perfectly. 3 is just the common number used, could be as few as one if the healing doesnt go well. What God considers on the matter has nothing to do with that.
The alternative that the Irish catholics endorsed is more dangerous than that and has long standing health complications, but the more pressing problem is that it was done without the consent of the patients.

Pedophilia? Sawing open women's vaginas to help them give birth easier? Definitely not family planning lol

Was it all because of one man who had weird misogynist idea that he somehow managed to tether to catholic reactionary thought?
And why did he believe C sections were "unwarranted and unnecessary"?
