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.
Note that if you really want bio kids after either a tubal ligation or a vasectomy, than IVF is still an option. Both men and women still produce all the needed ingredients, it’s a lot less fun retrieve and combine them after a produce to ensure it doesn’t happen. It generally involved large needles.
But you can absolutely have your own bio children with a little medical aid.
A lot less fun, much lower chance of success and it costs thousands. If you’re not 100% sure you don’t want kids then don’t get snipped.
I’m 33 now, no kids, planning to get my vasectomy this year. But I’m not planning on reversing that :)
Not if you live in Alabama.
And possibly other states soon.
