What's the scoop with Vasectomies? Are they catching on with Millennials.
.
Two of my nephew's friends have had them within the past 6 months, and he's scheduling one.
He says if they want kids they'll try and get them reversed, even though that's not 100% successful.
His two friends are conservatives and he's a liberal who all live in Illinois.
They are all in their mid-30s and career oriented now, after struggling for a decade to secure good jobs.
He states that they all don't want have and be on the hook for an unwanted pregnancy.
Is this a trend with that age demographic?
I'm sure there will be even more with the war on reproductive rights ramping up.

Unfortunately he failed to go back to get checked to be sure it worked. He was one of the first men in the USA to get one.
Well on Jan. 25 in 1961 my very sick 40 year old mother gave birth to a baby boy that was not wanted.
We picked her up at the hospital with a wrapped up something in her arms.
Both legs were wrapped in bandages as she had clots in both legs and they had to be stripped right after his birth.
It was anything but a joyous moment. I never cared to have any children after seeing this as a young child. I preferred my stuffed animals instead and never liked dolls. Now you know why!
My father was too "embarrassed" to go back and get checked.
What a fool he was as the brother I had died of cancer in his early 40s. He fell sick after having the those baby shots. He spiked a fever of 106 and had a brain hemorrhage. That set the stage for the rest of my life, a life growing up in poverty as all of the money/assets went for his care.
He lived in various hospitals and institutions for many years. He managed to some how graduate from high school and got a job as a mailman, a job he had until the day he died. 
Him and my niece have managed to have four kids in the past few years!
FOUR!
He has a high school diploma and that is the end of his education.
As for herself, she's had a job one time but didn't like going to work. She then began having all of these babies, one right after the next.
They are tRUMPers and born-again something or the others. 
on reversal of vasectomy. Collected and stored properly, this gives them decades of a back-up plan.
Good on them, but they need to still remember STIs, including HIV are still out there. Ditto with the women. I was aghast to hear that a state (can't remember which) was discussing banning condoms. What damned fools. A fairly lousy form of birth control but essential to prevent sexually transmitted infections. 
They have a completely different outlook on the future. They have a lot of dread, and many don't want to bring children into this world. It's very sad, but at the same time understandable.
Before I was 30 I'd already been married and divorced. Even so I never had the intention to not remarry and have children. But it's different world to them.
