Why vasectomies are on the rise after the fall of Roe v. Wade

Gabrielle Hays:

It's important to note that almost immediately after this Dobbs decision came down last year that Missouri essentially made it illegal to get an abortion in the exception. The only exception was a medical emergency. And so providers tell me that, you know, they saw the number of people getting vasectomies rise as much as 100 percent last year.

You know, for instance, a perfect example would be Planned Parenthood held a three-day vasectomy clinic and three different cities across state of Missouri. That was open to 100 people, a 100 people signed up 91 of them, I'm told, actually follow through and got the procedure.

So they say that the need is exponential, but not just in Missouri, it's we're talking about states surrounding Missouri, in part other parts of the country.

I spoke to a doctor, Dr. Esgar Guarin also known as Dr. G, who has a mobile clinic in Iowa, he came from Iowa to St. Louis to help with the — with vasectomy patients last week, and he tells me, even in his state where he is with his mobile clinic, he drives all over the state in order to bring access to people not only looking for the procedure, and his state, but people coming from out of state to get it as well.
