FWIW, when the pill began causing me migraines and I advised my husband that I would be going off of them once my current prescription was gone, thus we had x months to find another solution, he volunteered to get a vasectomy. We already had two kids and he was done. He wanted no more. He observed this choice seemed more common in the military. From what I have read, it is generally easier for a man to get a vasectomy than for a woman to get a sterlization procedure. They are less picky about age and parental status. Women under age 25 and/or with fewer than two kids tend to run up against barriers. I did a college paper some years ago in one of my law classes. I don't know if the laws have changed, but, at one time, this was not just due to sexism or societal bias. It was encoded into law that women under age 25 or with fewer than two kids needed a compelling medical reason to get sterilized. I have known women with serious medical conditions who had trouble getting the procedure approved. It is galling.
