US clinics offer free vasectomies in wake of supreme court’s Roe reversal

Planned Parenthood and doctor with mobile clinic dubbed the Nutcracker' to offer procedures in midwest, citing high demand

Amid a reported surge in demand for vasectomies prompted by the US supreme court ruling that removed the right to abortion, Planned Parenthood and a physician with a mobile vasectomy clinic will offer 60 free vasectomies over three days in St Louis, Springfield and Joplin, Missouri, in the first week of November.

Dr Esgar Guarin plans to take his mobile clinic - a vehicle friends have dubbed the Nutcracker" - on the road the following week, to offer 40 free vasectomies in towns in Iowa. Guarin also plans to offer discounted vasectomies at his regular clinic in the Des Moines area.
