Great, but what do you think about MEN'S reproductive rights??

There was a thread where this was mentioned in Coming Together - there were some good posts. I also don't believe that I should be required to have my wife sign a waiver for a vasectomy (in fact, can someone verify this and show proof?) for two reasons:

She can terminate a pregnancy over my objections and,
I can be forced to pay child support on a child I didn't want if she chooses to have it

There just seems to be some asymmetry here. I do agree with Art though, I can't imagine there ever being enough popular desire to amend these laws.
