With the overturn of Roe v. Wade, interest in contraceptives has increased dramatically. Well one specific method had a 900% increase in consultations......VASECTOMIES.
“Since Friday, we’re up 900 percent in people looking to get a vasectomy,” Dr. Christian Hettinger with Kansas City Urology Care said. “Typically, it’s about three over a weekend, and over this past weekend, it was 50 people.”
He said the procedure isn’t for everyone and should be viewed as a permanent form of sterilization.
“It’s not something that’s a good temporary fix. It’s not something I would plan to have done and then reversed in the future,” Hettinger said.
Ohio, Texas, Florida and Missouri are among the many states that had so-called trigger laws for abortion — designed to quickly ban or severely restrict the procedure after the Roe decision was reversed — or that planned to enforce other bans on abortions.
