Published today in a JAMA Health Forum research letter, policy researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health and Boston University show how the 2022 U.S. Supreme Court ruling affected preferences for permanent contraception among males and females between the ages of 18 to 30. It’s the first study to assess how the Dobbs ruling affected both females and male interest in permanent contraception procedures. What the researchers found was that despite all the attention on male vasectomies post-Dobbs, the rise in tubal sterilizations among females was twice as high as the increase among vasectomies in males.

      Dystopian laws aside, having children vs not is a MAJOR decision in a relationship, so being upfront about what you (don’t) want and what you’ve done to make it (not) happen would definitely help pair you with a partner who’s on the same page.

      I’m getting mine probably this year, you can be damn sure I’m going to disclose that on my dating profile.

      Weeds out all the women who want to have kids and it’s a huge plus for the rest.
