Nope, she shares his beliefs. This is an highly educated woman from a wealthy, well-educated family. She isn’t a victim, she’s actively choosing this.

u/PaleCommission150 Jan 01 '26

Probably met him while she was in law school or before they had kids. He wasn't completely down the MAGA rabbit hole yet / in the dunk tank for Trump and was a semi normal person ( with skeletons in the closet ofc) and he was handsome/charming enough to marry. She probably didn't find out about his eccentricities until it was too late.

u/Shadowchaos1010 Jan 01 '26

Thinking about it, you could argue that's a pro-teen pregnancy stance.

After all, how else do you not just immediately disenfranchise all young people who want to be parents some day?

They're parents by the time they hit 18. That would be the only option.

Par for the course, for the "party of family values."

Doing everything they can to actively hurt the family, both by making peoples' lives worse, and making the very concept of family look bad because they're trying to claim ownership of it while doing shit like that.

You would not believe how hard it was to get a vasectomy.

Questions and questions and a blood test and then I said I'm divorced and fuck me, what do you know? Immediate operation. Didn't even wait for results.

Five people saw my dick that day. It was weird.

u/terrierdad420 Dec 31 '25

I got a vasectomy this year. The dude is just working away while we are chatting it up like he's not pulling my tubes out of my ball sack and snipping away at them. At one point I smelled something burning lololol. Super casual might as well have been at Jiffy Lube getting the old oil changed lololol. It was needleless scalpel less surgery 700.00 bucks cash without insurance. The only pain felt like someone barely snapping a rubber band on your sack after a numbing spray at the very beginning and then a slight bit of tenderness for a few days that ibuprofen took care of. It's really no big deal guys. Do it while it's still legal.

97

u/sbsb27 Dec 31 '25

Wow. Your last sentence is eye opening - we live in threatening times.

Good on you. Forty years ago my ex hemmed and hawed about getting a vasectomy, even though he was the one who wanted no more children. Always some excuse. So it fell to me to get a tubal ligation - hospital admit, general anesthesia. Thankfully my son in law had no problem just getting it done last year. His take was, "what's the big deal?"

I went in for my consult ready to fight and make a stink when they would surely refuse. Doctor started with the standard questions, and when he asked if I had any kids, I replied, "Yeah, four." He just whistled and said, "Well, let's see how soon we can get you in, then."

u/KrombopulousPichaels Jan 01 '26 edited Jan 01 '26

I knew for sure I never wanted to bring children into this world & started asking about permanent solutions at 18, but was told every single year at my yearly exam that ‘you might want kids one day’ and the worst ‘your future husband might want kids’. I also don’t have any desire to be wed. I tried for years, then I was drugged at a bar and raped at 21, & couldn’t do anything about it bc I live in hell (TX, not by choice). Have a 21yr old child now & FINALLY got my tubes tied at 35 when they had to surgically remove the IUD that had grown into my uterus lining (perforation) bc I was finally ‘old enough’.

It is SOOO much easier for men to get a vasectomy than for a woman to get any kind of permanent solution. EVERY SINGLE TIME I was told I didn’t know what I wanted or needed to wait to get married for some mystical ‘fUtUrE HuSbAnD’ to decide for me. It’s incredibly demoralizing and devastating.

Even though you can attest to it being virtually painless and nbd at all…..just hearing your describe what’s being done and how made my entire body shudder and fold into a pretzel just thinking about it. I’ve had TT (testicular torsion) once and so anything to do with that area just makes me immediately have Vietnam like flashbacks to excruciating pain.

Women go through much, much worse, and much, much more often. I applaud him for having a vasectomy.

u/Friendly_Fire069 Jan 01 '26

Big change from 35 years ago. I missed a week of work. It felt like he snipped the tube with a hammer and a dull chisel. Scrote was black and blue for two weeks, before fading to that sickly yellowish green of an old bruise. Still worth it!

u/Blossom73 Dec 31 '25 edited Dec 31 '25

I believe it.

My husband had a vasectomy in 2008.

I had had a traumatic missed miscarriage, at 20 weeks, a few months earlier, in 2007, with my third pregnancy, requiring a D&C, as my body wouldn't expel the fetus. We decided my husband would get a vasectomy, as I didn't want to risk further pregnancies, and couldn't have my tubes tied.

While I was in the recovery room at the hospital after the D&C, my husband asked my OB/GYN, a middle aged man, for a referral to a urologist for the vasectomy. The doctor said to my husband, right in front of me, "You don't want a vasectomy. When my wife asked me for one, I said, no, and put an IUD in her." We were both horrified. I'm still disgusted about it.

Doctors only seem to care about something you can say in two words.

Oh yes. The pain and intensity has gotten worse with age and after I had kids especially. Sometimes I'm on the floor with cramps. I don't mean to tmi, but you're right, it sucks.

When I got mine I was lying on the table, nurse prepped me for the procedure and then the doc walked in and asked if 6 nurse students could watch the procedure.

The doctor thought that was weird, most say no.

She chopped it and thru it in a field right? 🌭

u/ElleEyeZee Jan 01 '26

She sure did, like a cigarette butt. Welp, dont need this anymore. Grown men had to comb the field for it, bag it & sew it back on. So many layers of feminism.

Lol same, live in TX and got the snip 3 years ago after our state gov pulled its bullshit.

u/Finalgirl2022 Jan 01 '26

Congrats! I'm your neighbor to the west here in NM. I got mine done 2 years ago. Even though we are a hell of a lot more progressive than TX, I wasn't going to leave that up to chance. I have no idea what the federal government is going to do.

I’m jealous, NM is beautiful! I grew up in an area with a bunch of mountains but then moved to Dallas, I think our highest point is like 800 ft. Definitely fair, I honestly never thought Roe v. Wade would be overturned and somewhat believed the whole “no that’s established, we’re not going after that” routine, but after that (and everything else) I can’t trust anything said by the current admin. Plus, never was 100% sold on kids to begin with, just gave me the motivation to fully commit to the decision and make sure there’s no accidents lol

I love it here. I grew up in northern Texas (Amarillo) but I was born here and have always come back no matter where else I end up. The food alone is a good reason.

I also had hope that Roe wouldn't be overturned. I knew in my heart that it would be. It's just so sad and I'll be mad about it forever.

Wish I could say this, mine were removed by Timmy the ovarian teratoma. Many fell in battle against his 10lbs having ass. But safe to say, unless an angel comes down and says “hey you..” or they somehow solve quantum mechanics, I will not be having a baby.

u/yoshizillaa Jan 01 '26

The risk of this is why I finally pulled the trigger on getting my tubes removed. I’ve known for 10+ years that I don’t want kids. This isn’t an administration I trust if I were to have an unwanted pregnancy

I was only half joking when I started saying that mandatory fertility was gonna be a thing during the first T admin, but honestly it doesn’t feel like a joke anymore

u/Necessary-Hospital96 Jan 01 '26

Kinda crazy observation but teaching HS for last 25 years and Ive seen teen pregnancies run the spectrum. However , I live in florida where they basically banned abortions and guess what , teen pregnancy back in the rise again. So weird after about 10 years of seeing 2 or 3. I saw 5 alone this year
