More men seeking vasectomies after Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade

More men are seeking to get vasectomies as states move to ban or restrict abortions following the Supreme Court's ruling on Roe v. Wade, doctors said. At one Florida clinic, a urologist told CBS News he found out about the ruling through the sheer number of phone calls coming into his clinic that day.
From his office near Tampa, Dr. Doug Stein calls patients who are under the age of 30 or do not have children to discuss whether they are 100% sure they want a vasectomy. He said he's making those calls more often.
"We generally see about 12% in our practice, men who are child-free. And then we generally see about 12% of men who are under the age of 30. But the number of both, young and child-free, nearly doubled," he said.
