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."

I seriously, SERIOUSLY doubt this claim. 900%… B with a capital B and S with a capital S.

I like how the other side used to say that they weren't using abortion as a form of contraception.

Good times.

Listen to this “man” talk, they were using abortion as birth control. He basically spells it it. That is why I posted this one.

And “looking to get” ain’t the same as getting.

Vasectomies are not as reversible as feminazis want people to believe. While vasectomy operations are cheap, the reversal operations are not. Condoms are quite inexpensive and quite effective especially the ones made with spermicidal lubricants.

Oh he’s going to have it done. He values material things in life over a baby and that is very clear by the video.

Look at what’s out there. Can you blame him? So he broadcasts it at a party. Does he go home alone?

I’m not sure I can find a reason to oppose a national “Neuter Liberals!” campaign. Maybe instead of their next piercing, they can get a notch in their ear to show they’ve been taken care of.

They are also not as permanent as many think. Sometimes they can undo themselves and women get pregnant.

It will certainly prevent the murders of any babies you guys would have murdered.
