While we all consider the predictable negative consequences of the overturning of Roe v. Wade by our right-wing activist Supreme Court, and the intended, negative consequences that shall obviously follow, I humbly propose this least harmful alternative as a national policy.

At the onset of puberty, all males in these United States should be required to have a vasectomy. Since this procedure is now reversible, all males should be required to have such a procedure once males are capable of impregnating a woman.

Later in life, when the male is contemplating having children with their spouse, the male should consult with their doctor, submit to an economic viability test (can you afford to raise a family?), undergo a minimum of three counseling sessions to determine suitability for parenthood, and then wait the requisite number of weeks before undergoing the restorative procedure.

Failure by parents to have their pubescent boys undergo a vasectomy would result in a substantial fine and jail time, and the citizen who reports these parents would receive a reward.

I believe that the overturning of Roe v. Wade will create a dangerous threat to the health and wellbeing of women, and that the above mentioned solution will eliminate the great harm that will obviously befall women.

Because of the zealots’ discrimination against women who do not wish to have a child, such a national policy would cause the least harm to the greatest number of citizens and could eliminate the issue of unwanted pregnancies.
