Business Insider via Yahoo NewsThe owner of Daddy's Dogs, which has three stores in Nashville specializing in hot dogs and a concession stand in Nashville Soccer Club's stadium, told Insider on Tuesday that around 17 people had taken up its co-called "Snip for Shake" offer so far.
"We thought this would be a fun way, with all the recent current events and political status, to bring out some alternatives solutions to put the ball in the guys' courts," owner Sean "Big Daddy" Porter said.
In late June, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, removing constitutionally-protected abortion rights and instead allowing states to make their own laws.
The Tennessean reported that the state now bans abortions after a heartbeat can be detected, which the publication said occurred usually at around six weeks of gestation, when many people still don't realize that they're pregnant.
The state is also expected to introduce a near-full ban on abortion in the coming weeks under a trigger law. The law would allow exemptions to protect the life of the pregnant woman in medical emergencies.
"We just think giving a free milkshake to men who've gotten their balls snipped is the right thing to do," Porter told industry publication Fast Casual.

(733 posts)talk about after a heartbeat is detected. At 6 weeks, for instance, a fetus is technically an embryo and does not have a four-chambered heart to beat. What they call a heartbeat is an electrical impulse which could not even be detected with a stethoscope. Only a sophisticated sonogram can find the impulse. I sent this article from Live Science to a newspaper recently and asked them to please stop talking about a heartbeat in early pregnancy:
