Kansas City urologist says vasectomy consults have increased by 900% since Roe v. Wade decision; Man shares decision to have procedure

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — With the overturn of Roe v. Wade, conversations around women and contraceptives have ruled the headlines.

For the other half of the population, KSHB 41 News found out the inquiries for male care are high too.

“I didn’t ever envision myself talking about this, but it feels good,” Lyon Lenk said.

In the shade of his backyard, surrounded by four-pawed furry friends, 35-year-old Lenk doesn’t take priceless things for granted.

“You have to give it some serious thought,” he said. “We just want the basics, to have this yard and a choice in how our lives look like.”

One of those priceless moments is when he proposed to his fiancee with a family diamond smuggled from Czechoslovakia during the Nazi occupation.

“We got engaged at the beginning of the pandemic, because there’s just no one else I want to do this life thing with,” he said. “Kelsey is everything to me, I’ve never met a kinder, beautiful person.”

Which is why he’s sharing their decision in lieu of his fiancee’s medical history and the abortion ban.

“We’ve talked about me getting a vasectomy,” he said. “I’ve got to contemplate what could potentially be a lifesaving procedure for the person I love the most.”

Lenk says he knows the mass of his decision, has done the research and talked to his family and friends.

“It’s not a decision I make lightly, I’ll say that,” he said.

Dr. Christian Hettinger is a Urologist at the Kansas City Urology Care, where there are about two dozen clinics across the Kansas City area.

“One of our office managers said get ready” Hettinger said. “Since Friday, we’re up 900% in people looking to get a vasectomy."

Abortion should not be used for birth control.

Messing with your junk affects your logic and emotions.

The doctors doing the snipping say “no” but my experience with various people I know, as well as medical traditions both western and eastern say “yes.”

If soy boys want vasectomies, that’s fine with me.

900%? That means people were using abortions for birth control. Unconscionable.

Great! No babies killed and fewer liberal wussies reproducing - a win-win. The gene pool will benefit.

“Condoms are quite inexpensive and quite effective especially the ones made with spermicidal lubricants”.

I preferred a vasectomy of about 40 years to condoms, thank you.

They just had to use this story to push the idea that abortion (too) is a "lifesaving" procedure.

“I seriously, SERIOUSLY doubt this claim. 900%...”

Don’t allow the media to misguide you. The article didn’t say they were getting one. It said they were looking to get a vasectomy. That can also include window shoppers falling for the false hysteria and lies the liberals are selling about what is transpiring.

According to WEBMD about 500,000 vasectomies are performed each year in the U.S.

https://www.webmd.com/men/features/vasectomy-risks-benefits#:~:text=About%20500%2C000%20vasectomies%20are%20performed,of%20women%20get%20tubal%20ligations.

And it is used in lieu of a more intrusive female procedure with it being simple and relatively safe: local anesthesia and a simple quarter inch cut, cut the tube and either burn or stitch, and one stitch to close. I walked out of the OR from the table for three days rest at home counting the Friday surgery day, and back to work on Monday in 1979. Hardest part then was trying to find a doctor that would do one.

The line from Braveheart delivered by Longshanks comes to mind:

“We’ll BREED them out.”

My wife and I had a very hard pregnancy with our second kid...Wife had to stay on a couch or bed....for the last 4 months of pregnancy.....

Baby was born...healthy.

We mutually decided I would get a vasectomy. I wasn't going to have my wife go thru that again........or me for that matter.

Each to their own.............

They don’t just protect against pregnancy. They also protect against sexually transmitted diseases, especially the spermicidal ones.
