Do you know what one of the best ways to reduce poverty all over the world is? Educate women! Do you know why that is?
Educated women have fewer children...which is better for everyone.
Now we have a chance to entice women to use birth control in the U.S....particularly tubal ligation. Which requires actually "going under"....if we particularly want to encourage tubal ligations...making them free is a good way to entice them...
Vasectomy is a safe and relatively inexpensive procedure....
I think men will survive.
OH and one other thing....I highly doubt that large numbers of men would opt for Vasectomies...EVEN if they were free...considering that their wives will undergo actual surgery to "protect them" from having their "pee pee's" cut.
