Now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, the idea of not being able to send their lady friends off to the local abortion clinic seems to have prompted young men to take interest in a permanent form of contraception.
According to the Washington Post, doctors across the country are seeing a huge spike in requests for vasectomies in response to the Supreme Court’s ruling one week ago, and men under the age of 30 feature prominently among those now seeking the procedure.
A Florida urologist told the outlet that he's seen vasectomy requests jump from four or five per day to 12 to 18 per day and that young men who do not have children are seeking vasectomies in greater numbers than before.
In Los Angeles, doctors have reported a “300% to 400%” increase in vasectomy consultations.
A Missouri-based urologist said, "We’re up 900% in people looking to get a vasectomy."
The Cleveland Clinic in Ohio said it usually gets three to four requests a day, but that the number jumped to 90 from Friday to Wednesday.
The Austin Urology Institute in Texas told a local NBC affiliate, "[W]e had over 400 phone calls to our office just this past Friday, with 70 occurring over just the one hour period after Roe v. Wade was passed. We had a record number of bookings for requests for vasectomies."

Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Correct. Self-volunteered sterilization with those folks is much appreciated.
In other words, there will be a huge decrease in deadbeat dads. Feminists should be ecstatic, right? What? no?
Furthermore, why should women stay on the pill and other forms of birth control the rest of their lives after having their family children? I got snipped a year after our second child.
It’s a gamble. You decide on a vasectomy with your wife who decides to be your ex-wife. Then you decide to get remarried again. The problem is that you’ve already had your vasectomy.
Exactly right.
*snicker* Someone told them it would keep them from getting pregnant.
I’m SHOCKED, I tell you, SHOCKED, abortion was being used as birth control. - sarc
>>> ‘Up 900%’: Roe reversal sends young men rushing to get vasectomies <<<
Good. This is Darwinism in action.
Qualified to be out of the gene pool ....
I know five boys who had vasectomies while sleeping around in college and wanted it reversed when they became men. Only one had a successful reversal and the reversal cost him thousands of dollars. The people, in their best interest, will at some time need to step in and prevent or limit vasectomies.

These kids do realize it’s now state law, not federal?
I guess if they can’t then.....have at it!
Enjoy the phantom ball pain boys. I know I didn’t.
Glad I got mine done last year! We are in our 40s and done with having kids so it was time.
Why these young people are doing them is beyond me. I had to have an initial consultation where they warned of all the reversal issues that can happen. Basically only go when you are really really sure.
Not in all cases.
A guy would do that when she could just take a BC pill once a month? Good. Both are too stupid to be reproducing anyway. My wife took the pill until we were ready to have kids. It’s not rocket appliances.
My doctor told me when I had it done that it would never be reversed. At the time he was President of the Board of Urologists.
10 years later and a new wife who had substantial funds, we went to the top reversal specialist in the state and said he knew my doctor and had several successful reversals of his patients.
So we went ahead and I had the surgery.
6 months went by and at my checkup he said it was a complete and utter failure. I was ecstatic deep down.
But at least I got a great memory of how we got the sample for the test.
You’re the first person I’ve heard mention that. I never had any such thing and have never heard of anyone else having such a thing, either. I think you greatly exaggerate.
I wish it was just a story. I could just be sitting at my desk and it woukd feel like I got kicked in the nuts. Lasted about a year. This was in 1988.
