#2This treads too much on individuals freedom to me. What this is saying is that we don’t trust people to make grown up decisions about family planning, so let’s semi-permanently neuter them.
Using circumcising babies as the moral benchmark “we’ll it ain’t as bad as that” seems like a weak argument to me.

Thank you for this.
Considering that vasectomies are completely reversible you're just giving people a safer form of birth control that they can opt out of any time. It's not about not trusting people. It's making individuals lives easier through the implementation of a default that allows for people to make more conscious decisions.
