^This.
Beyond the health risks to the person taking birth control pills, the environmental damage caused by all that estrone getting pissed into our water systems, the simple inconvenience of taking a pill every day for years is something she did for the team for years. While the vasectomy sucked for a couple days, it's the least I could do to pitch in for the rest of our birth control needs.
Plus not having any background questions about "what if" is sure awesome.
