Rep. Mickey Dollens (D)Â an Oklahoma state lawmaker plans to introduce legislation mandating that boys get a vasectomy at puberty which they will reverse later in life once they get to a point of financial and emotional stability.
“I would invite you to co-author a bill that I’m considering next year that would mandate that each male, when they reach puberty, get a mandatory vasectomy that’s only reversible when they reach the point of financial and emotional stability,” Dollens told GOP lawmakers during a floor speech. “If you think that’s crazy then I think that maybe you understand how 50 percent of Oklahomans feel, as well.”
On Thursday, the Republican-controlled legislature in Oklahoma passed the most restrictive abortion law in the country. The law bans abortion from the moment of fertilization and allow private citizens to sue abortion providers who “knowingly” perform or induce an abortion “on a pregnant woman.” Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) is expected to sign it into law.Â
The new restrictive law comes after Politico published a leaked draft opinion from the Supreme Court showing that a majority of the justices on the conservative leaning court support overturning Roe. v. Wade, the landmark ruling that legalized abortion nationwide.
