Younger men seek vasectomies due to Roe v. Wade being overturned

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Some men are taking matters into their own hands by getting vasectomies because of Tennessee’s abortion ban.

When Roe v. Wade was overturned, one sign at Nashville's protest said "Mandatory Vasectomies." Some women feel men should step up to the plate and get snipped to prevent pregnancy.

"This is a safe long-term way of avoiding an oops," said Dr. Joseph Pazona, a urologist in town.

Pazona said he's received an influx of calls from young men inquiring about vasectomies.

"I think it’s wonderful that men are starting to take more personal responsibility when it comes to family planning," Pazona said.

One of his patients was concerned about the abortion ban.

"And I said, 'that makes sense,'" Pazona affirmed.

He performs 50 to 60 vasectomies a month and noted it's usually a 10-minute procedure with no needle and no scalpel.

"As well as laughing gas for our gentlemen so they’re comfortable," he added.

He's prepared to double the number of vasectomies he performs due to the ban.

"I was visiting with a patient who had made the decision that he did not want to have any children, and he brought that up as one of the factors bringing him in," Pazona said.

Thirty-six-year-old Joseph Carrizales said he’s looking into getting a vasectomy because he doesn’t want any more kids.

"I had my son at a pretty young age, and so I had to grow up pretty quickly. And I want to have some, call it 'me-time' I guess, in the near future, and have the ability to do that,” Carrizales said. “While I enjoy my son — I love kids very much — I want to be able to have some of that time myself."

Most married men I know/knew got a vasectomy after they had the number of children they and their wives wanted. Me included.

Yep. My wife wanted two boys and two girls. I did my part, gave her what she wanted, and then I got snipped.

If a young man prefers a vasectomy to keeping it zipped, I’d argue the country is better off if he doesn’t procreate.

Same here. And we didn’t need to worry about more kids after the kids were born and we got snipped. Lol

After 3 kids we decided a vasectomy was the best option. Got divorced several years later. It is amazing how responsive women are when they learn you can’t knock them up. Had some of the best sex in my life after telling my partner they were safe.

It might not be legal pretty soon. Better get it now.

Nobody is talking about banning vasectomies.

Nobody that anyone would ever take seriously.

“Cucks culling themselves from the gene pool.”

How is that bad?

I’m totally on board with a bunch of soy boys granting themselves a Darwin award without any lasting harm to themselves (besides the obvious snipping of course). Just like all the womxn who vow to “sex strike” until they can once again murder children. I mean, that’s great! So much winning!

What’s the downside? Omega males getting clipped improves the gene pool.

Why say something like that - that has no basis in reality? What is the point?
