While flowers, mariachis, and teary poems dominate Mexico’s Mother’s Day, Mexicali’s health officials are doing something a little different this year: they’re calling on men to step up and do their part — scissors and all.
In honor of May 10 (yes, that’s Mexican Mother’s Day, for you gringos still texting your mom next Sunday), health authorities in Mexicali are offering free vasectomies throughout the month. That’s right, gentlemen: snip now, skip diapers later.
The program is led by the Baja California Ministry of Health and is part of a statewide push for shared responsibility in family planning. And let’s be honest — moms have done enough. This time, it’s the guys’ turn to make a small but meaningful sacrifice.
The procedure is quick, outpatient, and 100% free. No hospital stay, no scalpel, and no regrets (well, unless you really wanted that sixth kid).
Appointments can be scheduled through your local health center in Mexicali, and walk-ins may be accepted depending on availability. And don’t worry — there’s counseling beforehand, so no one walks in without knowing what they’re leaving without.
This campaign isn’t about pushing anything. It’s about offering real options. And while it may raise some eyebrows, it’s also raising awareness that responsibility isn’t just for mamá.
So if you’re a father who’s done his duty, or a partner who’s ready to show love in a whole new way, this might just be the best gift you can give this May.
💜 Flowers wilt. Chocolates melt. But this? This lasts.
