Women used to worry most about conception
My generation of women--before Roe v Wade freed us--used to be the gender that worried most about conception. We did all we could to make contraceptives work, but even today only abstinence and sterilization "really work." Before menses stops, and if enough wanted children exist, vasectomy can be an exquisitely kind and loving gift to a wife. Maybe as time passes we'll have parties to celebrate that "Sweetheart, I love you dearly" occasion.
More Vasectomies? Wonderfully good news.
When men with advanced education have vasectomies because parenthood is so costly, they set examples of excellent MONEY MANAGEMENT. The media is full offers of courses to improve that skill. It also means women can enjoy coitus without dread of conception. I'm one of the pitiable generation of PRVW women--Pre-Roe v Wade. We struggled so hard to make contraceptives work and often they failed. Along came another l8 years of childcare, wanted or not. Rich men could buy abortions for beloved women or whores, but for the rest of the population there were horrendous ban-abortion laws enforced by civil government. It is a basic civil right to be FREE FROM PARENTHOOD. If I were younger, I would start such a group. The worst Genesis command ever made was "Be fruitful and cover the earth." That turned out to mean
"Cover it with believers who pay tithes." From there, it has been all downhill to gridlock, roadrage, smog, global warming, etc. Viva Vasectomies.
