As a man who's been very sure he wanted to remain childfeee since his teens: most surgeons won't sterilize men on request either. I was told several times to come back after I was married with at least three kids. Had to move to the literal opposite corner of the country to a place where Planned Parenthood isn't under constant assault to get a vasectomy after decades of chasing one.
Wow. That's unreal. If I may ask were you trying to do a vasectomy (which can often be reversed) or something more permanent?
A vasectomy, mostly. I did try to get into some studies for things like IVD, but that never materialized either.
I was shocked at how easy it was when I got to the NW and just...walked into a Planned Parenthood and scheduled the appointment.
Florida in the late 90s/early 00s was very "unreal", but it's gotten worse every time I've gone back to visit.
There was a quote something like no matter how bad life gets religion can always be counted on to make it worse.
