How does tubal ligation stop you from getting pregnant?

Tubal ligation is a means of birth control, so it is basically only used in women who already have a family.  The fallopian tubes are tubes on both sides of the uterus that bring eggs from the ovary to the uterus.  A tubal ligation is surgery to cut these tubes, so the egg and sperm can no longer meet and produce pregnancy.
