Roe v Wade and Vasectomies

Snipped in Solidarity

I didn't read the article bc the headline said enough. This reminded me of a crawfish boil a few years back and around the time abortion was sent back to the states. This young fella, who was nice enough, was with his gf and the topic came up. He seemed rather proud to announce his willingness to get a vasectomy in light of the recent political change. It struck me as odd at the time, something seemed fraudulent about this proclamation. Anyways, I gave it some thought recently and came up with the following thoughts/questions. Why now? Where was this willingness beforehand? Certainly allies of women would take seriously the negatives associated with an unwanted pregnancy. Shame, career aspects, guilt with the termination of a lifeform, body changes, ability to provide, etc,,, Why did these guys leave the burden on women up until this point? Seems like a very large part of the contentious debate would have been rendered moot had they taken such a stance beforehand.

I'm open to counterpoints as it is not a complete thought at this point.

As a side note. I discussed a vasectomy with a urologist a while ago. I'm not sure what it was all about, but he said that any reversal would have to be within a year to be reliable. Don't know if it is a thing for the general population, but if it is, yikes for these fellas and there future wives.

Edit to add: don’t recall if it was said or not, but I always had the impression the dude felt it was reversible as needed. Could be mis-remembering though.
