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."

And this is FINE. Presumably, if a man intends to father children, he should not get a vasectomy, or he can freeze his sperm. If he does not want children, or already has the children he wants, why would AN ABORTION be the preferred “boo boo” solution? What kind of selfish man would put someone he loves through AN ABORTION as the backup birth control method?

Proves abortion was being used as birth control.

Further, his reason is not relevant. A womans reason for not wanting a baby is never questioned. The mans reasons should not be questioned either. Hes stated he doesn’t want a baby, that should be enough. It is when a woman says it.

So there.

“Since their purpose is to prevent conception, vasectomies should be banned.”

Not everyone is parent material. Its better to realize that before having a child, versus having a child and being a bad parent.

He would be the ATM for the child more than the mother but regardless, the vasectomy would still be cheaper.

Paternity tests are virtually 100% accurate, what with DNA screening and all. So if she says he's the dad he has every chance to prove otherwise.
