'Up 900%': Roe reversal sends young men rushing to get vasectomies
The Blaze ^ | July 1, 2022 | Staff

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."

What kind of crap is this? Well, if it's reported by the MSM, it's got to be true.......Is there nothing that can't be made into a news story these days....?

I’m sorry. That’s rough. But you are the very first I’ve heard of that happening. I had mine in 1982.

Maybe it’s similar to the feeling some people get from a leg or arm amputation. Phantom pain or something like that.

Ouch!! Lol I literally laughed out loud.

There was a guy in our office who said he’s never get one because just the thought made him cringe. He did muster the courage to ask someone what it felt like and the guy said it was no problem until the Dr. tugged a little and that made his eyes cross. That guy almost passed out. LOL

Doing us all a favor by taking their stupid, beta-male, man-bun-wearing selves out of the gene pool.

Sitting there with the doctor getting ready he looked at me and said “Boy - you sure seem calm about this!”

“We had twins!”

I would never do this. Just in case there was such a catastrophe that I would be needed to help repopulate the world. My wife would totally understand too.

Plus the pill has awful side effect. MY daughter was chaste until marriage but had awful cycles that only the pill could alleviate. Her first two pregnancies ended in tragic miscarriages as a result of the pill she had used years before.

Fortunately, the third, forth and fifth times were the charms and we were blessed with a granddaughter and two grandsons from here.

I've always contended that the best parts of marriage were (in this order) grandchildren, children, companionship and sex.

I asked the Dr. if he had anything to calm me down and he had the nurse give me a shot in the butt. It helped.

If this is true, maybe the gene pool will be improved by removing the contributions of such craven, stupid men.

I wonder if these urologists have a barbershop quartet handy to explain the procedure to their patients. (One of my favorite Family Guy songs.)

It could have jumped 900% right after the reversal, but is this just an initial blip that will return to historical levels in a few months.

Well, yeah, because the more men who get snipped, the fewer there will be left to ask for it.

It can’t possibly stay that high forever.

Just like all the idiots who complained that after a while vaccination requests were dropping. Well, duh, that’s because everyone got vaxxed who wanted it. They honestly did not think that people would keep asking for it forever, did they?

Don’t answer that….

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.

Doctors shouldn't do vasectomies unless the man is 40, or he has at least 2 children or some sort of medical and/or mental issue.

Big deal. At least the ones who think they need to do this are taking steps to not have kids they won’t want and love. Men only have this and condoms.

And of course, like women, keeping it in the pants. Which neither side apparently will do anymore.

News flash!!!! Stop the presses!

99.9999999% of men have no plan to get vasectomies.
