The Future of Birth Control: It Starts with a V

In 1970 in Dallas Texas, Jane Roe took legal against the county attorney, Henry Wade, in an attempt to solidify her constitutional right to early termination of a pregnancy. After a long battle, the Supreme Court ruled in her favor in 1973.

Earlier this month, an alleged draft from the Supreme Court made its way online. It revealed details of the courts pre-decision to reverse the past ruling of legalized abortions.

A wildfire of protestors are rallying across the states. The heat of the expected overturn of the Roe v. Wade law can be seen in live coverage of these rallies. Protesters hold signs in groups reading “Bans off our bodies”. These people are terrified of what may come if abortion laws are converted to strict guidelines. This could mean the rise in unsafe and unregulated options of termination. 

The topic of abortion usually leads to the conversation of methods to prevent pregnancies. Taking a closer look at contraception could benefit both men and women alike, but not in the way you may be thinking.

Fact: A woman has the ability to have a pregnancy once in year while a man has the ability to make a pregnancy every single day of his life. Stats like these have fallen on deaf ears for years but, in recent events, the public may be shifting their attention. As told by Today.com, “Daily searches for vasectomies increased 99% since the draft was published…” 

A winning solution to the fight over unwanted pregnancies should come from the corner where pregnancies are able to form the most. The uprising in the last few weeks could possibly bring more attention to a topic that seems (for no good reason) taboo. Now is more a time than ever to start this conversation!

The future of birth control starts with a V…vasectomy.
