They are angry they cannot provide this service, according to the chair of the Northern Ireland GP Committee, Dr Alan Stout.

Some insurance plans will cover it but not a reversal. It is less expensive than the cost of a birth ... soooo...

With how messed up dating is these days a lot of men won’t reach that point where they’ll have to consider a vasectomy.
