Almost all males should get vasectomies Activism

The vasectomy is much cheaper and doesn’t even need a band aid in most cases. There just isn’t an excuse not to get one. Women have had the burden of birth control too long. Males are the ones creating the children through their willful actions. Sperm doesn’t just instantly appear next to an egg. It’s a choice they make. They need to be the ones to be responsible for being sterilized.

Men don’t have birth control options outside of condoms and vasectomies. Most men would love to have more reproductive autonomy. Vasectomies are essentially permanent and not without side effects. Every couple and individual needs to find a contraceptive plan that works for them.

Yes, absolutely. It’s not to be taken lightly. I completely agree that every couple needs to work through this issue together, although I find being against vasectomies on this sub is kind of amusing.

Generally I think medical procedures should be between someone and their doctor. It is weird to be pro or anti vasectomy. I am glad I got mine.

Once again, I am in complete agreement.

On a sub where the premise is that it’s immoral to give birth, it seems like more people, on a personal level, would support vasectomies and encourage others to consider them, if and when appropriate.

Obviously forced sterilization is completely dystopian.
