Plastic or paper, who cares?

In the august 2011 American Journal of Ob/Gyn there was an article that women prefered permanent sterilization over IUD placement in the immediate post delivery time. The article points out differences in education, socioeconomic status etc. as possible reasons why more women were not getting IUD's.

Dr. B:
Who cares? Terrible study and worthless conclusion. First, IUD's are not permanent unlike sterilization. If someone does not want any more children why would they choose a reversible method of contraception? Interesting that someone even bothered to study this and write an article. IUD's are great and have their place and sterilization procedures are great and have their place. They are not interchangeable.
