To remind everyone, you are allowed to get a vasectomy for whatever reason you want. No one is forcing you to have children you don’t want, can’t afford, etc. If you’re told no, find a different fucking doctor.

Also remember, children never fix a broken relationship.

Look at this guy, with his penis, assuming everyone has a penis as well. /s

Conservatives in the US are working very hard at forcing women to have children, especially when they can't afford them.

"Oh, you're so young, you'll change your mind in the future." -Doctors when women insist they want tubal ligation

What you need to do is find yourself a lawyer who surfs so you get tubular litigation.

Children are an STD.

STDs are treatable. Did your parents treat you well?

I don't even need that. I don't gamble. One of my friend's dad had a vasectomy. It didn't spare him living.

Would you say he looks a lot like his dad? ;)

Eyyy!

I don't actually know.

Very much not true in many places of the world. Vasectomies can be very hard to get.

A vasectomy was the best present I bought myself.

There's also vasagel which will hopefully be available before long.

Been hearing about that for literally a decade at this point. I check in on it every once in a while, but it never seems to make much progress

when i was in elementary or early middle school like 20ish years ago, in sex ed they said there were some male contraceptives on the horizon.
