I've been paying very close. A woman's right to choose is being eroded across this country. And as a man, I've been paying very close half attention to this issue for several weeks. Thousands of people are standing up for a woman's right to choose.

After nearly 50 years, the nation's highest court overturns Roe v. Wade, taking away the constitutional right to an abortion. It's insane that we're going all the way back to the way things were in 1970. It's a war on women. That's what it is. To investigate more into women's reproductive rights, I went to the obvious choice, a man. Meet Dr. Gourarin, who trained in family medicine and obstetrics. Let's talk about some of these anti-abortion laws that are popping up. I mean, right now, women that want to have an abortion have to leave the state like it's Ted Cruz during an emergency.

It seems that we either punish, criticize, and judge just the women. And that is an issue, because men actually were part of that reproductive process. It takes two to tango. And, and, and, and, and the the the th. And, and women. And, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and tho, and tho, and tho, and tho, and tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, women, that, women, women, that, that, women, women, women, women, women, that, women, women, women, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, women, that, women, women, that, that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is th th th th no tho, tho, tho, tho, thi women, thi thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thi, that is that is that is that is that is that is that is thin, that is that is that is thin, thi women of that reproductive process. It takes two to tango, and the men seem to be absent in this whole discussion. You're right. Absolutely. And we can protest, and we can vote, and we can... Get a vasectomy. What did you just say?

Get a vasectomy. Oh, okay, slow down. Isn't that a bit zero to 100? Can we maybe tickle the balls before we slice them off? We don't slice testicles off. Listen, Michael, for decades, women have carried the burden of contraception. Men in general have assumed that reproductive decisions

fall on the shoulders of women. So getting more of a sectaries actually is gonna show that we care, that we want to participate. That's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's tho tho tho tho the to participate, to participate, to participate, to participate, the to participate, that, their, that, that, that, that, that, that, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the balls, the balls, the ball, the ball, the ball, the ball, the ball, the ball, the ball, the ball, the ball, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, they. they. they. thi, thi, t. thea, tha, tha, thau. thau. thau. thau. thau. thau. thau, thau, thau, thau. thato show that we care, that we want to participate. It's not, that's not all, but that's a very good first step. Cutting off the balls is the good first step. Do you understand what a vasectomy is? Yeah, it's when you remove the viscect in me. You actually interrupt. the viscum. the vast difference. You interrupt that. I know, but keep, continue. Well, that. that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's a very that's a very that's that's that's a very that's a very that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's a very that's a very the the the the the the the the very the very the very the the very the very the the the very the the the the the the the that's the that tube called the vast difference. The fast deference you interrupt that. I know, but keep, continue. Well, the vast difference is a small structure that comes out of the testicle. Out of the test, that's where the vast deference are, the testicles. Please continue.

And transport the sperm. And put it into the seammin so that it comes out through the penis, and then you can get somebody pregnant. PINUS. Do you have to wear one of those cones? That's what my dog has to do. No, you don't. If I get a vasectomy, how high will my voice go after that? It will not. I won't be talking.

Hey, Dr. G didn't my vasectomy. No. Listen, Michael, it is responsible. It is responsible. It is responsible. It is responsible. It is responsible. It is responsible. It is responsible. It is responsible. It is responsible. It is responsible. It is responsible. It is responsible. It is responsible. It is responsible. It is responsible. It is responsible. It is responsible. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to. to. to. to. to. to. to responsible to do something like that because you are being part of the reproductive decisions. And Dr. G wasn't alone in his beliefs of neutering men to make the world a better place. About a half million vasectomies are performed in the United States every year. Doctors say that number may be increasing in Texas following the passage of the state's heartbeat act. That's right. So far there's been a 15% surge of asectomy is motivated by the state law. Have you ever had a vasectomy? Yes, I did my vasectomy. Yes, I did it. I did it. I did it. thrown. I did it. Was it like a moment of extreme horniness and you had to do it right then and there? Listen the point here is not I did. I the the point. I the the th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th.

No, that is the point. Are there any other medical procedures you've performed on yourself, crazy doctor?

Point is, it is so simple that if the surgeon decides to do it and is able to do it, then other men should have no problem getting that procedure done. Okay, what about just the pull-out method? The pullout method doesn't work? It doesn't. Oh my God. Oh my God. Maybe Dr. G was on to something, but I wanted to hear from a regular old Joe who wasn't

a doctor, a completely normal American who was willing to get his scrotum touced and let me watch. Why are you getting a dysectomy? I'm getting one because my wife has already went through, you know, childbirth and all of those different hormone changes. So I just figured that a vasectomy was something that I could do to help take some of that burden off of her. You know, I have a kid. She's cute, two years old. There are good days, right? Those are nice, those good days. And there are bad days. You know, yesterday she wouldn't eat. So I made her some oatmeal and she keeps taking the spoon and throwing the spoon and throwing.

And then she'd say no throw, and then I would pick up the spoon and give back to her. And then I'm like, okay, so you're not going to eat. So then I try to put her to put her to put her the pants the pants the pants the pants to put the pants the pants the pants put pants the pants the pants the pants the pants the pants the pants the pants to put pants the pants the pants the pants on and the pants on and the pants on and the pants on and the pants on and the pants on and the pants on and their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their and she and she and she and their and their and their and their and their and their and their and their and their and their and their and their and their their their their their ss and their soomoomoomoomoomoomoomoomoombsoombsoombsoombsoombsoombsoombsoombsoombsoombsoombsoom. And thoombsoombse and thoombsethis like gross urine and poo. And she throws the diaper up and now the dog is eating the diaper filled with poo. And I'm going, do I love my kid? I think I love my kid. You know, I tell her I love her all the time, but she never says anything back. If anything, she just takes, takes, takes, take. Here I am I I I I I I I I I I I I am. Here I I am. Here I am. Here I am. Here I their. Here.

And, the. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta ta tapea tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. tha her diapers and throwing the oatmeal and it... It's fucking hard being a parent man. Maybe I should get a vasectomy. You should look into it. You're a cool guy.

I think it's cool you're doing this. And if people at home, you know, aren't sure if Travis is a cool dude. Sunglasses are on his head for an indoor interview. I mean, if anything, that communicates, you're a bad mother's fieffer. I look forward to seeing your scrotal sack and the left and right, Vastefrin. I'm sure Travis had some great memories with his uncut Vastefrins, but now, it was time to carefully sex. If change your mind, it's totally reversible. Sleepless nights, you'll still have them, but it won't be from unwanted children. We're done.

What? We're done? You're done? I haven't even gotten into my other verse. I mean, that's fast. All right. No more Travis seeds to impregnate women. That's a hero.

And while getting a vasectomy is not a solution in helping women with their reproductive rights, it is a snip in the right direction. Watch the Daily Show, Week Nights at 11th, 10 Central on Comedy Central, and stream full episodes anytime on Paramount Plus. This has been a comedy central podcast.
