The gynecologist didn't tell her it "may be an issue for her future husband". The gynecologist "told her the choice should be up to her future husband." That sounds a lot like something you would take issue with:
However by the logic in your first comment, we could say that being told the decision should be up to your future wife is a lot more benign than a urologist denying you your autonomy (ie, only your future wife can authorize your vasectomy).
