Summary

A study by researchers from George Washington University, UNC-Chapel Hill, and the University of Michigan found a sharp rise in permanent contraception among young adults after Roe v. Wade was overturned.

Tubal sterilizations rose 70%, and vasectomies increased 95% in states likely to ban abortion, particularly among those aged 19-26.

Concerns about losing reproductive autonomy and access to abortion or birth control drove this surge.

The findings highlight heightened fears post-Roe and reproductive decision-making among young adults.

But where will the wage slaves to support my week of retirement come from!?

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm, but in case it is: if you are not in the upper class, this is a real effect that will affect you when old.
