Guy Is Instant TikTok Hero After Getting Vasectomy For Wife Because They Live 'In A Red State'

Guy Is Instant TikTok Hero After Getting Vasectomy For Wife Because They Live 'In A Red State'

A video of a woman filming her husband after he had a vasectomy for her because of their concerns of living in a red state has gone viral.

With the recent overturning of Roe v Wade, the 1973 landmark ruling that previously established a constitutional right to privacy and reproductive freedom, the US Supreme Court left it up to individual states to determine the legality of access to reproductive healthcare.


The text overlay in the video posted by TikToker Karah Matanic, read:

“When he gets a vasectomy for you because you reside in a red state."

According to the New York Times, abortion is now banned in at least 10 states, with many others expected to follow.

After SCOTUS' controversial decision, Justice Clarence Thomas suggested in his concurring opinion the high court “should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents."

One of the cases relating to the personal right to privacy he mentioned was Griswold v Connecticut–the 1965 landmark decision that protected the liberty of married couples to purchase and utilize contraceptives without government restriction.

Should the high court repeal Griswold as proposed by Thomas, it could lead to an outright ban on contraception in some states.

In anticipation of what could happen as it did with Roe after Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's initial majority opinion draft leak prompted many states to enact trigger laws, many Americans are once again finding themselves bracing themselves for the worst.

Some concerned citizens have resorted to taking drastic measures–like stocking up on the Morning After Pill or getting a vasectomy–to prevent pregnancy.

Take Karah Matanic–a.k.a. TikToker @karahmatanic–for instance.

She posted a video of her husband leaving the clinic after he had a vasectomy and the clip reached 3.8 million views as of this writing.

The low-risk procedure is an effective form of male birth control by which the tubes called the vas deferens carrying the sperm to semen are cut off and sealed. Three months after a vasectomy, the semen will not contain sperm, so it won't cause pregnancy.

People gave the husband props for taking one for the team.

He's not alone in his endeavor for the cause.

According to Bloomberg author Sri Taylor, there has reportedly been an uptick in calls for appointments for the sterilization procedure to avoid unwanted pregnancies.

"In Ohio, where abortions are now prohibited after six weeks into pregnancy, the Cleveland Clinic went from lining up three or four vasectomies a day to 90," wrote Taylor.

They added:

"Des Moines, Iowa, urologist Esgar Guarín said he typically performs 40 to 50 vasectomies a month; last weekend alone 20 men registered. Koushik Shaw of the Austin Urology Institute in Texas said his office received about 70 calls within the hour of the ruling."

Some TikTokers suggested the procedure was a wise decision for couples whose families are complete, regardless of politics.

The clip was in response to a commenter who said of her husband, "He looks too young for that.. damn rip."

She responded with sarcasm:

“Thank you for bringing the same energy that they bring into the doctor’s office when I wanted to get my tubes tied."

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
