Published today in a JAMA Health Forum research letter, policy researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health and Boston University show how the 2022 U.S. Supreme Court ruling affected preferences for permanent contraception among males and females between the ages of 18 to 30. It’s the first study to assess how the Dobbs ruling affected both females and male interest in permanent contraception procedures. What the researchers found was that despite all the attention on male vasectomies post-Dobbs, the rise in tubal sterilizations among females was twice as high as the increase among vasectomies in males.

    Don’t have to in Texas and Oklahoma a woman can’t legally get one without having at least 3 kids or being a certain age. Think over 25 to 30. All GOP have to do s m extend that range.

      Even as a male in the South I had to go through a few hoops to get a vasectomy and the appointments were specifically months apart so I’d have more time to “reconsider”

        Same and already had 3 kids and they still made me jump through hoops. But Planned Parenthood did pay for mine. Something men everywhere need to look into. Another reason conservative attack them. We should defend Planned Parenthood.
