lower the age that a woman can choose to have tubal ligation procedure (tubes tied) to 18.

Doctors should not be able to deny a woman's basic civil right. Many doctors will not let a woman have this procedure until they have a certain number of children, or they are of a certain age. I do not believe this is right. If a woman says that she doesn't want the chance of getting pregnant and being a prisoner in their own body for nine months then she should not be denied that basic right. Men can have sterilization procedures done at the age of 18 and women should have that same right. No matter what the belief's of another person. It is their body and they should be able to do with it what they wish.
