Dr. Douglas Stein in New York, New York in 2021. Credit:<\/span> Photo via Signati Medical\/Facebook<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div> Less than one month after a ballot measure to overturn Florida\u2019s six-abortion ban narrowly failed to get the support it needed to pass, Planned Parenthood has decided to relaunch a program at their East Orlando clinic that offers an increasingly in-demand form of permanent birth control: vasectomies. \n

\u201cWith the recent failure of Amendment 4 to pass in Florida despite receiving 57% of the vote and the added uncertainties around abortion and health care access nationwide, it is more important than ever that people have every tool at their disposal to maintain control over their health and medical decisions,\u201d said Barbara Zdravecky, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida, in a statement.\n

\u201cTraditionally, the burden of birth control has fallen on women, but in recent years we have seen a turn toward more equitable accountability in reproductive health care and pregnancy prevention,\u201d she added. \n<\/p>

Florida\u2019s Amendment 4 sought to enshrine the right to have an abortion in the state Constitution, where state lawmakers would have had a more difficult time messing with it. Amendment 4 would have legalized abortion up to fetal viability, similar to where abortion access similarly stood in Florida just a couple of years ago, before Florida legislators approved a 15-week abortion ban. Although more than 6 million Florida voters voted in favor of Amendment 4, it did not surpass the 60 percent threshold required for constitutional amendments to pass. \n<\/p>

Planned Parenthood, a key partner in the Amendment 4 campaign, is now teaming up with VasWeb<\/a>, a vasectomy provider based in Tampa, to provide safe no-needle, no-scalpel vasectomy procedures at Planned Parenthood\u2019s East Orlando clinic, located off University Boulevard near the University of Central Florida. The service will only be available on select \u201cvasectomy days\u201d since the provider isn’t someone they’re staffing in-house. \n<\/p>

Dr. Robyn Schickler, chief medical officer for Planned Parenthood in Central Florida, said the procedure itself is \u201cvery safe,\u201d can be completed in as little as 15 minutes, and doesn\u2019t require anesthesia \u2014 although a local anesthetic like lidocaine may be offered. \u201cVasectomy is an incredible and very safe method of birth control,\u201d Schickler noted. \n<\/p>

VasWeb charges $690 for the procedure if paying out of pocket, but if you\u2019re insured, the procedure may be at least partially covered through your insurance plan. On their website, VasWeb aptly notes that $690 is \u201cstill FAR less than an unintended pregnancy!\u201d<\/p>

An abortion procedure, for instance, can cost anywhere from $500-$2,300 through a Planned Parenthood clinic, depending on how far along you are in your pregnancy. And Florida is also one of the costliest states<\/a> for childbirth, even if you do bring a pregnancy to term. \n<\/p>

Tampa Bay Abortion Fund TBAF\u2014which was recently featured in the New Yorker<\/a> for its work connecting women to health care that can sometimes be out-of-state\u2014says the cost for an abortion can fluctuate between $500-$20,000 depending on travel.<\/p>

As of Sept. 2023, the median cost of a vaginal birth in Florida was $34,489 for those who are uninsured or receiving out-of-network care. Even for in-network care, the median cost is $14,911 and the cost of a C-Section birth is even higher. \n<\/p>

A vasectomy may not be for everyone. But if you\u2019re a father who is ready to stop procreating, or someone with a penis who simply does not want to get someone pregnant, experts say vasectomies can be one of the most effective ways<\/a> to prevent unwanted pregnancy. \n<\/p>

The next day that Planned Parenthood\u2019s East Orlando Health Center is offering vasectomy appointments\u2014Dec. 16\u2014is already booked up, Schickler confirmed. However, they plan to offer more appointments \u201cregularly,\u201d depending on the VasWeb provider’s availability. \n<\/p>

\u201cThe hope is for it to be a very regular thing,\u201d she said. \u201cPossibly having such high demand may prompt more days to open, or for the providers to be more available on those days.\u201d At this time, they’ll only be offering vasectomy services at the Orlando clinic, but they hope to be able to expand to other service areas in the future. \n<\/p>

People who are interested in getting a vasectomy can schedule their appointment through VasWeb by going to VasWeb.com<\/a> or calling 813-536-1430. \n<\/p>

\u201cIn the 40 years I\u2019ve been providing vasectomies and vasectomy reversals, the biggest jump we\u2019ve seen in interest was immediately following the overturn of Roe v. Wade,\u201d Dr. Douglas Stein, a board-certified urologist and founder of VasWeb, shared in a statement. Roe v. Wade was the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court case establishing the right to abortion. After nearly half a century, it was overturned by the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization in 2022.<\/p>

From Stein’s perspective, \u201cIt was clear that a lot of men are very concerned about whether they and their partners might no longer have the option to terminate a pregnancy in the event of failure of one of their contraceptive methods.\u201d \n<\/p>

Abortion is currently banned in Florida after six weeks of pregnancy, with few and restrictive exceptions<\/a>. Now, the nearest state to legally terminate a pregnancy after six weeks is hundreds of miles away in North Carolina, where abortion is legal up to 12 weeks, or Virginia, where abortion is legal up to the third trimester. \n<\/p>

TBAF, a nonprofit that helps remove logistical and financial barriers to abortion care, recently told<\/a> Orlando Weekly that, if someone who contacts them is beyond six weeks, they generally try to coordinate care with clinics up in Washington D.C., where lodging and travel costs are more convenient. \n<\/p>

\u201cI know a lot of people are trying to go to Virginia, but unless you\u2019re driving, flights and hotels aren\u2019t always the easiest,\u201d explained Bree Wallace, director of case management for TBAF. \u201cThey kind of get expensive at times, too.\u201d Illinois, where abortion is legal up to viability, is another option. \n<\/p>

Outside of Stein\u2019s practice, however, a number of studies have indicated vasectomies are kind of having a moment, post-Roe, with a greater interest in the procedure. Increased demand has been particularly notable among younger, single adults.<\/p>

A national review<\/a> published in the Journal of Urology in May found a \u201csignificant increase\u201d in the number of patients under 30 who had undergone vasectomies in the first few months after Roe v. Wade was overturned. Compared to states with less restrictive abortion policies, the rate of vasectomies was \u201cconsistently higher\u201d both pre- and post-Dobbs than in states that completely ban or restrict abortion access. \n<\/p>

In addition to vasectomies, the review also found that demand for tubal sterilization\u2014a procedure also colloquially referred to as getting one\u2019s tubes tied\u2014has also increased. \u201cThe increased rate of vasectomies post-Dobbs was consistent among states regardless of the legal climate, while the increased rate of tubals post-Dobbs was significantly increased in states where abortion was illegal,\u201d according to the review. \n<\/p>

Planned Parenthood clinics also offer birth control, testing for sexually-transmitted diseases, emergency contraception, and sex education services.<\/p>

They don’t offer tubal sterilization, but Schickler said that, compared to vasectomies, sterilization for women can be a more complicated procedure that takes longer, requires anesthesia, and also requires more recovery time. \u201cIt’s a full-on thing, requires time off of work, some recovery. The vasectomy is like, they walk in, it’s maybe 10 to 15 minutes [with] the no scalpel technique,\u201d Schickler explained. \u201cIt is so quick, especially with people [providers] from places like VasWeb that do these all the time.\u201d \n<\/p>

Dr. Stein, who trains doctors in both vasectomies and vasectomy reversal, says that people \u201cwant to be in control\u201d of their reproductive health. \u201cRestrictions on health care access have really gripped men who want to remain child-free, and even those who have children but don\u2019t want more. I\u2019m excited to be working with Planned Parenthood to help reach even more patients seeking vasectomy care.\u201d<\/p>

Schickler said that people in Florida trust Planned Parenthood as a healthcare provider, and even with Florida’s restrictive six-week abortion ban in effect, \u201cWe still plan to be here.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cPatients are still counting on us. Patients are still coming in for care, so we’ll continue to provide that care,\u201d she said, \u201cin compliance with the law of course.
