In June 2022 the United States Supreme Court issued a ruling in the case Dobbs v. Jackson that overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling establishing a federally protected right to abortion in the United States. Anecdotal reports suggested increased vasectomy volume following this event; however, no published data exist. We sought to describe trends in vasectomy consultation before and after the Dobbs v. Jackson ruling (referred to as pre- and post-Dobbs herein). Following IRB approval, we reviewed charts of all adults seeking vasectomy consultation in July–August 2021 and July–August 2022 at a large healthcare organization. We then aggregated vasectomy procedural billing data from 2018 to present. The primary outcome was volume of vasectomy consultation appointments and the secondary outcome was number of vasectomies performed. In July–August 2021 (Pre-Dobbs), 116 men attended vasectomy consultation versus 142 men in July–August 2022 (Post-Dobbs). Median age Post-Dobbs was significantly younger than Pre-Dobbs (35 vs 38 years, respectively, p = 0.01) with a significant increase in Post-Dobbs men under 30 seeking vasectomy (p = 0.005). A total of 16.9% (24/142) of Post-Dobbs men were childless, compared to 8.6% (10/116) of Pre-Dobbs men (p = 0.05). Of those with children, median number of offspring was unchanged at 2. Billing data showed a significant increase in vasectomy procedural volumes Post-Dobbs. While overturning Roe v Wade directly impacted female reproductive rights, number of vasectomy consultations and procedures increased significantly following this decision. Younger men, especially those under 30, as well as childless men were significantly more likely to seek consultation Post-Dobbs compared to the prior reproductive legal climate. While longer-term data are needed, findings indicate that men are invested in maintaining reproductive autonomy for themselves and their partners.
Handing out free vasectomies at a political convention like they are party favors is WEIRD.

GOOD FOR THEM!!
I for one will admit I don't want their kind breeding.
Let them do what they're doing, in due time they will cause their own extinction. We don't need those braindead leftist morons reproducing.
Now if we could just convince those who use abortions as contraceptive, to self abort.

Isn't that an Islamic and Jewish ritual? Circumcision?
The joy we've heard of is actually the passion in preventing religious interests from reversing the progressive social change, or enforcing the suddeningly scientific definition of sacrosanct. 'Joyfully' working with Planned Parenthood to pull a DNC stunt to draw a line on women's rights.

Tone typically denounces anything against Islam, so I was pointing out that it's also a Muslim thing (circumcision), since (s)he brought it up as a negative thing.
That'd be the first time I saw Tone post anything negative about Islam.
Islam (some communities) take it a step further and include littke girls.
I find it interesting, that is all.

And for those whose lives depend on Epipens or insulin there's no free ride. We've got some pretty sick priorities in this country.
If they were really concerned about saving lives with the Covid shot, why isn’t insulin free?
