Isn't a vasectomy only cheaper than a month of child support if
child support is more than a vasecotmy? How much is a vasectomy?
How much is a tubal ligation ?
Here's something interesting:

"The cost of vasectomy is typically 3 to 4 times less than the cost of
tubal ligation. Although prices vary, regionally, vasectomy costs
generally range from about two hundrend fifty to one thousand dollars,
while the cost of tubal ligation often begin at about one thousand
dollars and may go as high as twenty-five hundred dollars. The cost
difference is mainly due to the fact of where each procedure is
performed; an office procedure vs. a hospital procedure."

But it's not really about cost, is it?

It's about taking responsibility.

Apparently, it's about applying responsibility to only men as noted in
your next statement.

Your bigotry is showing. But on we go ...

And let's face it, he's responsible for where his semen ends up, and
in this day and age, I don't think it's reasonable for him to say that
he didn't know *all* of the potential consequences of his actions. So
here's a question:

Another question: If men are responsible for their semen, do women have
any responsibility for allowing it near their egg?

Sure. Everyone is responsible in their areas of responsibility.

What you can't do is to hang all responsibility on one of the sexes.

Second question: If it is reasonable for a man to know *all* the
potential consequences of his actions, is it any less reasonable for
women to also know, which negates abortion on demand as a reasonable
response to accidental pregnancy?

Your bigotry is getting in the way again.

Abortion *is* one of the potential consequences.

How much is a condom?

Less than a dollar; how reliable are they?

If you're concerned, then be responsible in your area of responsibility,
because, at the end of the day, you are responsible for where your semen
ends up, because it's *your* semen. If you don't want it to be
somewhere, don't put it there.
