The man said the move has already prompted some men not to become sperm donors.

“I don’t even have to guess at that... people have already said ‘No’,” 46-year-old William Marotta told the Topeka Capital-Journal.

“I can’t even believe it’s gone this far at this point, and there’s not a damn thing I can do about it,” he said.
