Free vasectomies will be offered at clinics in Missouri in response to a surge in demand after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade.
Sixty procedures will be available at mobile clinics in St Louis, Springfield and Joplin as part of an initiative run by family planning charity, Planned Parenthood, during the first week of November.
In June, the US Supreme Court, the highest court in America, voted to overturn the constitutional right to choose abortion, which has existed for more than 50 years.
The controversial ruling means a woman's right to decide is now determined individually by each of the 50 US states.
Weeks later in July, Planned Parenthood clinics in St Louis and southwest Missouri performed 42 vasectomies - compared to just 10 in the same month in 2021.
Female sterilisations increased to 18 from just three a year earlier.
The operations will be offered to uninsured patients by Dr Esgar Guarin - who will host the so-called "Nutcracker" mobile clinics alongside the charity.
He then plans to offer a further 40 free vasectomies in the state of Iowa.
The scheme has been launched as part of World Vasectomy Day.
Dr Guarin, who sits on the medical advisory board for the annual event, said: "It's a very particular moment in reproductive rights in the United States. And we need to talk about it."
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists reports more people are seeking the procedure.
Meanwhile Planned Parenthood's national website has seen a 53% spike in vasectomy information searches over the past 100 days, a spokesperson for the charity said.
And data on Google Trends showed vasectomy searches hit their highest level after the US Supreme Court announced its decision.
In Texas, which brought in strict abortion law in the wake of the ruling, the

I read an article 22 years ago that said Planned Parenthood was giving out free vasectomies.
I have a question: if a woman pressures her boyfriend or husband to get a vasectomy, does that mean she won't ever dump because of it later?
Because I am guessing that happens a lot.
What do these crazies have against God and His creation?
I like this.
Fewer Democrat voters in the future.
I hope PP can set this up in all 50 states.
I think they’ll be disappointed though because it’s proven that black males are very reluctant to get the big V. It’s a cultural thing.
I do not want lieberals contributing to the gene pool. So, good.
I think it’s a GOOD thing. HIS body, HIS choice!
I think it’s a good thing that the wimpy Snowflakes are getting vasectomies. They give the U.S. Male a bad name with their man buns and homely women.
My wife was on the pill and every month there were about three days where I just kept my head down and tried to not be noticed. So after our daughter was born, she asked me if I would consider getting a vasectomy so she could get off the pill. My answer was an enthusiastic YES!

Temporary sterilization should probably be a prerequisite for being on welfare.
Why not free tubal ligation?
I’m pretty sure vasectomies are very cheap for the provider, and tubal ligations are much more expensive. And they probably lead to more malpractice suits.
I wouldn’t get that, and last time I checked I am not black.
Why would we want to limit the production of FReepers?
I live in Missouri and will remain an ungelded pure blood.
Fake “men” and fake “women”.
Darwin Awards to each and every one of them
Cuz that’s major surgery...
I think the hugely exploited “Bad Day at Uvalde” convinced them they wanted to go around shooting blanks.
Angry atheists hate God and His creation.
They are really Satanists, they just will not admit it.
Cut it off. Make it no worky.
If the snowflake men get vasectomies and parents keep sterilizing their kids with tranny treatment there won’t be very many people seeking abortions.
