Commentary by Susan Brinkmann, OCDS
Although you probably weren’t aware of it, population control fanatics designated Friday, October 18, as “World Vasectomy Day” to celebrate a procedure that destroys a man’s fertility – which they claim must be done in order to save the planet.
Writing for the Population Research Institute (PRI), Anne Roback Morse cites a video on the World Vasectomy Day website which describes how population is the problem behind global warming, war and poverty.
“It all comes down to human beings,” the video claims, “For too long, people have stopped talking about the population of the planet! . . . Are you willing to put your – – – – – on the line for Mother Earth?”
It goes on to applaud the fact that last Friday, 100 doctors in 25 countries performed over 1,000 vasectomies “in order to reduce our carbon footprint 10 million metric tons . . .”
Morse sees nothing to applaud in this morbid celebration. “The anti-people ideology of World Vasectomy Day is not a joking matter,” she writes. “It causes real harm.”
Notwithstanding the harm it causes for men both physically, emotionally, and spiritually, funding for such programs denies needy populations of the kind of aid they really need. For example, USAID recently requested $1,350 million for family planning and “reproductive health” while designating just $670 million for malaria and only $95 million for nutrition.
“Not only do such ideologies distract from real problems, like poverty and war, they also fuel the dangerous ideology of overpopulation that has been at the root of every sterilization camp and forced abortion in this century,” Morse writes.
“At its best, the ideology of World Vasectomy Day sells fake solutions for real problems. At worst, it fuels coercive sterilization campaigns such as those which regularly take place in India and China.”
In addition to this catastrophic damage, vasectomies have had a devastating impact on the lives of men.
Mark Hickman, M.D., a Texas surgeon who has devoted himself to helping men who want to reverse their vasectomies, has heard many a horror story from men who said their sex drive dwindled and they were plagued by a diminished sense of well-being and wholeness after the procedure. Others said that eliminating the “risk” of impregnating their spouse eventually led them into having affairs with other women.
Some Christian men who had vasectomies admitted to him that immediately after the procedure, they cried because they “knew in their hearts they had sinned,” Hickman once told LifeSiteNews.
Even though his colleagues can charge anywhere form $9,000 to $22,000 for a vasectomy reversal, Dr. Hickman offers the same procedure for $3,000 in order to make it more affordable to men who have changed their mind after a vasectomy and want to take back their fertility.
In an exclusive presentation with Women of Grace, Dr. Hickman will tell this and other compelling stories of hope and healing in a webinar on November 13 at 8:00 p.m. Click here for more information!
