In over 30 years of practice, Dr. Errol Billinkoff rarely saw a man without kids come into his Winnipeg clinic to get a vasectomy. But since the pandemic began, he says it’s become an almost daily occurrence.

And he’s not alone.

“At first, I thought I was the only one who was noticing this,” Billinkoff, who brought a no-scalpel vasectomy procedure to Winnipeg in the early 1990s, told CBC News in a November interview.

“But I am part of an international chat group where doctors who do vasectomies participate and the topic came up, and it’s like everybody notices it.”

    This is what happens when the conservatives threaten the right to an abortion. Drastic measures have to be taken.

    No kid should be born unloved or a woman have her life threatened because too many ignorant folks think she is sinful for getting healthcare or evil for not raising more wage slaves for the bourgeoisie.

    When animals are over stressed, unable to provide the basics of survival, and constantly dealing with external threats they tend to not have babies.

    I’ve decided I don’t want to have kids at all.

    My wife is taking it better than my son and daughter are.
