When did women in the US stop having to legally get their husbands permission to have a tubal ligation?

Women in the U.S. were required to obtain their husband's permission for a tubal ligation until the 1970s. The landmark Supreme Court case, Griswold v. Connecticut in 1965, laid the groundwork for reproductive rights, but it wasn't until the 1970s that states began to eliminate such requirements. By the late 1970s, most states had removed laws mandating spousal consent for sterilization procedures.
