As states enact bans on abortion following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, Planned Parenthood is expanding its vasectomy sales, citing a surge in demand for permanent birth control options nationwide.
Planned Parenthood of Michigan has resumed offering vasectomies at its Irwin/Martin health center in Grand Rapids, with plans to expand to other locations this year. The move comes after the pro-abortion organization halted the service about a decade ago, but officials say renewed interest spiked after the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, which shifted abortion to the states.
“The demand is real and present,” said Dr. Kate Starr, chief medical officer at Planned Parenthood of Michigan. “Patients and their partners are looking for ways to control their lives and their families, and vasectomy is one of the ways in which they can do that.”
From a pro-life viewpoint, the trend underscores how limiting abortions encourages alternatives that prevent unintended pregnancies without ending lives.
Nationally, vasectomies surged 1,200% at Planned Parenthood health centers the day after Donald Trump’s election victory in 2024, according to Alexis McGill Johnson, the abortion organization’s president and CEO.
“Just the day after the election, we saw at Planned Parenthood health centers, a 1,200 percent increase in vasectomies for men,” Johnson said.
Pro-life advocates see the spike as a potential silver lining, suggesting that political shifts toward life-affirming policies may reduce the number of abortions.
In Michigan, vasectomies are available to adults 21 and older for $800 without insurance, including a $100 consultation fee, and are covered by many health plans. The procedure takes less than an hour, requires no general anesthesia and involves two appointments.
“There are patients in the state of Michigan whose only option has been being on a long wait list for a hospital-based procedure six to eight months from now,” Starr said. “We are offering access to folks who want vasectomy and also likely need reasonably priced care.”
A 2024 KFF survey found that about 1 in 10 adult men in America have undergone sterilization like vasectomy. In one Michigan health system, vasectomy consultations rose 150% and procedures increased 160% in the six months after Dobbs.

People are so dumb.
I would never get vasectomy, but I can tell you if I somehow were going to get one, I sure wouldn't get a free one. Somethings are not worth getting for free!
So, they want less Democrat voters?
If a younger man were to have it done, and then later discover that he wants to raise children after all, there are a ton of adoptable babies and young children who need good homes. Reversing a vasectomy is not uncommon, but it's not guaranteed by any means.
Especially libtards.
Well that is what they have been getting since 1973 only somehow the dead still vote.
Few years ago PP was offering them free but only had so many like maybe 200 slots. I think they used them all up.
More child chemical castrations and mutilations also.
You don’t imagine they even figured that out, do you?
Oh yea. Woke lib parents who think they are hip to have a trans child.
When they are old and others are showing pics of they grand kids it will catch up to them. I’ll laugh at them too because their castrated male can’t get a woman pregnant.
There was a football player, Antonio Cromartie, who had at least 14 children, and two of them were AFTER he had a vasectomy. According to Spotrac, he made $47M playing in the NFL, so if he was smart, he can afford them.
Geez they can’t stop messing with everyone’s plumbing.
I wouldn’t trust them to lick a stamp properly, much less touch my family jewels.
Now you have tons of people wanting gay children, or trans. There IS a show on some channel where a woman "let" her son transition at age 5 or something. By the time the child was a teenage, the child was realizing it wasn't a good deal, and the other was gaslighting the child about it.
While I despise PP for a large number of reasons, I am not unhappy that the men they are doing this to, liberal betas and deltas, are not going to be able to procreate.
From this perspective, its a major, major win.
How many men are telling their wives or girlfriends they got a vasectomy, when actually, no they didn’t?
“I got it done today, Honey Pie, gonna have to rest easy for a little while, but nothing is too much if it makes you happy!”
“Geez they can’t stop messing with everyone’s plumbing.”
ROLF!
Yes they can’t keep their hands off everyone’s plumbing.
Disturbing, it is.
Guys who don’t want to pay child support.
Apparently, mothers who do this are exhibiting a form of Munchausen’s by Proxy. [It’s mostly mothers, but maybe some fathers too.]
