AUSTIN (Nexstar)— Two Austin-area Texas doctors said less than 48 hours after the Roe v. Wade opinion was released on Friday, more patients are looking into vasectomies and getting their tubes tied.
The Supreme Court opinion released Friday, will end Roe V. Wade—leaving it up to individual states, to regulate whether abortions are allowed.
“We’ll typically receive about 200 or so phone calls on a given Friday,” Dr. Koushik Shaw, founder of the Austin Urology Institute said.” “Then we had over 400 phone calls to our office just this past Friday, with 70 occurring over just the one hour period after Roe v. Wade was passed. We had a record number of bookings for requests for vasectomies…we’ve actually increased our schedule availability just to accommodate the current surge that we’ve seen.”
Dr. Tyler Handcock, and OBYN at Women’s Health Domain, said his clinic has received over 100 online requests from women, interested in getting their tubes tied in light of the news.
“I understand that patients are anxious, and scared, nervous, and we’ll do what we can,” Handcock said.
Both doctors said they’ve never seen such a dramatic increase in patients seeking these treatments, in such a short period of time.
“I think people are scared that contraceptions next other human rights are next,” Handcock said.
Tubal Ligation—getting tubes tied—cannot be reversed. Vasectomies can, but it costs thousands of dollars.
“It’s important that we talk about it, we talk about the options and educate ourselves and that this is a safe and very reasonable option when the time is right,” Shaw said.

Well I think that is wonderful. If it forces people to finally take individual sexual responsibility without having to murder someone else, thats great.
Of course they have plenty of less extreme options but they require consistent usage, amd we all know even with at least seven options plus the morning after pill, women arent consistent.
I am all for this if it means they won’t be aborting an “inconvenient” child of theirs.
Don’t Litter, spay or neuter your critter.
:)
All I can say is if it makes them finally take responsibility and this is them stepping up, then we’re getting a lot more wins than just Roe being struck down as bad law.
Good.
I know, I know I’m just shocked it took this for them to get a clue.
I’m ok with liberals continuing to take themselves out of society, without taking children with them.
I may be wrong, but I think the media is hyping this up.
Getting a vasectomy, or tubes tied is not taking responsibility.
All the far left crazies can go get vasectomies and tie their tubes as far as I am concerned.
Excellent news.
It totally is. Not from std’s or promiscuity, but from having a kid they’d sooner abort, it sure is.
great! the less liberal breeding the better!
This is good. We don’t want libtards being fruitful and multiplying more libtards.
I see a bright and glorious future ahead, as libs implement Darwinian theory to make sure they go extinct.
It all depends on what your definition of “responsibility” is.
It’s extremely responsible if it prevents an unwanted child to be created and then murdered. That’s true whether people are married or not.
Moral responsibility is a separate issue when it comes to sin and sex outside of marriage.
Just more temper tantrum kicking. Expect breath holding next.
They can get a lobotomy while their at it. It might be an improvement.
“They can get a lobotomy while their at it.”
Best idea I’ve heard in a long time.
What this suggests, IMHO, is that these people previously thought of abortion as a back up method of birth control.
