Uh, he still got it done. Doesn't that count for something? ;)

The arguments that go on inside our heads when we feel ambivelant about something are not usually very PC. I was touched that the author shared his internal struggle with me and it gives me some insight into a man's possible viewpoint, politically correct, or not.

The points you raised are good to consider BEFORE getting the procedure done, but after it's already done, the excitement of never worrying about birth control for the couple makes those earlier fears fade into obscurity.
