A Democrat in the state House in Georgia has proposed the state regulate vasectomies, because “thousands of children are deprived of birth in this state every year because of a lack of state regulation.”

Rep. Yasmin Neal, a Democrat from the state's 75th House district, said, “It is patently unfair that the men can avoid the rewards of unwanted fatherhood by presuming that their judgment is more valid than the General Assembly while women's ability to decide is constantly up for debate.”
