You don't see women sitting around making judgements on prostate exams or erectile dysfunction. You don't see large groups of women or the press condemning men for wanting more testosterone (sorry I've been seeing commercials all weekend for testosterone spray/pills for men). You don't see large groups of women or the press judging men for having a vasectomy--which is pretty much creating an abortion every time that man has sex afterwards because he's refusing to let his sperm implant in an egg. Why don't the right and politicians and the press and Rush Limbaugh rail on men who get vasectomy's? And if they don't want to give women affordable access to contraception, then they should be demanding that men line up at their doctor's to have their tubes snipped/tied.
What happens between a person and their doctor is solely the business of the person. It's really not even the doctor's business, the doctor is just there to do a job they were trained to do.
On edit:
When I'm talking about "large groups of women or the press" I meant women who could do anything legislatively to take away individual health rights.
