A liberal elected official in Michigan claims she has sterilized herself in order to avoid a pregnancy under what she believes will be Donald Trump's crackdown on abortion.
Laurie Pohutsky, 36, has represented the 19th District in the Michigan House of Representatives since 2019.
Michigan significantly changed its abortion laws in response to the 2022 repeal of Roe vs. Wade.
In In November 2022, the state passed a citizen-led ballot initiative that enshrined the right to abortion in the state's constitution.
However, speaking to hundreds of protestors at the state capitol in Grand Rapids, Pohutsky expressed no confidence that those laws would remain in place under a Trump second term.
'Just under two weeks ago, I underwent surgery to ensure that I would never have to navigate a pregnancy in Donald Trump's America,' Pohutsky said, according to Michigan Advance.
'I refuse to let my body be treated as currency by an administration that only sees value in my ability to procreate.'

Yes indeed, spaying is far better than abortion. I have no problem with her choice.
Hope a lot of Dem women follow suit.
Nothing says defeat like removing yourself from the general pool.
I wonder if she thought the government mandated clot shot was an infringement on the rights of others?
But what can she do against President Trump living rent-free in her head?
She’s gay and getting to the end of her child bearing years anyway. But probably BS. I’ll bet she either got an implant like Nexplanon, or is just outright lying in a bid for attention.
“However, speaking to hundreds of protestors at the state capitol in Grand Rapids”...
Wow, that’s a cracker-jack media shill line, eh? :^)
Why must we know about everyone else’s sex life? I know it’s been going on for a couple decades now, but jeez, it all just seems like a nationwide case of arrested development or something...
No transportation funds on her street!
I call BS, she says this because she is hoping other crazy women will follow suit.
Like Angelina Jollie and her breast removal to prevent cancer, never happened, she is Deep State.
