World Vasectomy Day is an educational event to promote greater understanding and participation by men in family planning. A number of educational events took place on Nov. 13 and continue for several weeks, with a focus on Indonesia. It is a great time to consider and discuss reproductive goals and options for contraception. The Male Contraception Initiative created a petition to garner support for the inclusion of vasectomy (and other male contraceptives) in the Affordable Care Act. NBC Right Now covered the story. You can sign the petition here.
