Lawmaker Says Vasectomy Harder to Get Than Abortion

Tennessee state Sen. Todd Gardenhire (R) claimed that it’s harder for men to get vasectomies than for women to get abortions, the Huffington Post reports.

Said Gardenhire: “Men go through a lot more stringent process for a vasectomy than women, I assume, go through for an abortion. Having personal experience in that field and also having one reversed I want to promise you that when … you start talking to a doctor about them whacking on you down there, you want to wait a while and think about it.”
