The first World Vasectomy Day since the fall of Roe v. Wade is next month, and Dr. Esgar Guarín has a unique plan to commemorate it: He’ll be traveling across Iowa in a mobile vasectomy clinic and offering 40 free vasectomies.

Yes, really. The clinic, jokingly nicknamed “the Nutcracker,” is even decorated with images of sperm, the Associated Press reported.

“It’s a very particular moment in reproductive rights in the United States. And we need to talk about it,” Guarín told the Associated Press.

Health care professionals across the country have reported a surge in requests for vasectomies since the Supreme Court overturned Roe.

One Florida urologist and vasectomy told VICE News that his vasectomy registrations tripled the week after the June ruling. Florida has now banned abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

The next month, an Iowa doctor told the Des Moines Register that his health care center had seen a 90 percent jump in emailed requests for vasectomies. “Every email has a sense of desperation,” the doctor said. “‘I want to get this done as urgently as possible.’”

(One Motherboard writer even got a vasectomy in July in response to Roe’s overturning.)

Planned Parenthood’s website has seen a 53 percent increase in searches for vasectomy information, a spokesperson told the Associated Press.

Planned Parenthood is planning to partner with Guarín, whose tour will kick off in November with performing 60 free vasectomies at Planned Parenthood clinics in Missouri. One of the doctors who will be working with Guarín said that she sometimes plays songs like “Great Balls of Fire” and “The Nutcracker Suite” during appointments with vasectomy patients.

Compared to tubal ligations, the sterilization procedure for people with uteruses, it’s far easier to reverse vasectomies. Vasectomies also tend to be easier and cheaper.

“At least men are waking up in our country and saying this is something we can do. That’s very nice,” Guarín told VICE News in July. “The problem to me is that it took restricting the right of an individual to be able to make decisions about her own body for men to start waking up.”

This is from October 2022 but worth posting due to all the protests and unrest with Roe vs. Wade.



This needs to be campaigned on and happen all across America and the entire world.


We need more mobile Vasectomy clinics and make this easy and low-cost to make an appointment and comfortable for the men to get this procedure done.


Yes, MEN need to start stepping up to the plate and start making responsible decisions regarding their medical choices, care, and preventing unwanted pregnancies and stop contributing to having children they do not want and do not want to support.

It takes two to make the baby and the men are just as responsible for this.

Women have been vilified, told to "cross their legs" if they do not want a baby. How about men "keep their pants zipped" if they do not want a child?

Women bear the burden of reproductive health. They are expected to be on the birth control pill for four decades. Women are expected to go get tubal ligations; they are expected to go get hysterectomies.

They are expected to bear the financial costs of raising unwanted children by the men who walk away and leave their children in poverty and expect the taxpayers to foot the bill for the men's unwanted offspring.

This has got to stop. It is your RESPONSIBILITY to prevent unwanted pregnancies, both men and women.

And that "CHOICE" to have a child should not be foisted upon the taxpayers to pay for your offspring you cannot afford. This is disgusting.

We, as human beings around the entire Globe, need to put the spotlight on the MEN now to step up and take responsibility.

Women have carried this burden for far too long.

Men can no longer be irresponsible and walk away from the offspring they created.

Go get a vasectomy and wear a condom.

There are many men both married and single who either have had enough kids and do not want more or do not want them in the first place. If the woman gets pregnant, the men tell her "go take care of it", I will pay for the abortion. Yet, abortion has become a contentious issue with NO mention of the man's role in creating this child. Why? They are just as guilty.

And women, you need to take charge, start asking these men if they had a vasectomy, and they wear a condom and stop being the victims we have been for decades.
