Steve Shaw BS: Roe v. Wade (206* d) RE: BS: Roe v. Wade 03 Aug 22


Well yes. But mandatory vasectomies? Really??

First of all, a civilised society does not condone the enforced mutilation of its citizens, whether that's female genital mutilation, circumcision or vasectomy. Secondly (and far less relevantly), reversal of vasectomy is far from straightforward. It is often, usually, difficult or impossible.

I had a vasectomy a year after our second child was born. I was told then to not expect it to be reversible. Times may have changed in that regard for all I know, but I still can't understand why this notion is even on the agenda. There's just a whiff, in my opinion, of latent man-hatred in the suggestion. The statement that men can't understand this because we have no frame of reference worries me greatly. Let me just tell you that we men are not all the same.
