A Michigan lawmaker has sterilized herself to avoid becoming pregnant while Trump is president.

Omg. Mental health crisis.

Rep. Laurie Pohutsky (D-Livonia) said: "Just under two weeks ago, I underwent surgery to ensure that I would never have to navigate a pregnancy in Donald Trump’s America."

“I refuse to let my body be treated as currency by an administration that only sees value in my ability to procreate."

She’s choosing this. That’s women’s rights FFS 🙈 Why is this seen as a mental health crisis if a woman chooses to sterilize herself?

DAFUQ wrong with people?

Because she is clearly mental.

Michigan has functionally zero restrictions on abortion - codified in their state Constitution. Abortion any time any place for any reason.

She’s enraged at history. I see no problems here. I do see a problem with any person who doesn’t respect others rights to their own body autonomy.

I am actually thrilled she can’t have kids but self mutilation is not the answer to imaginary and made up fears.

We disagree about the imaginary fear but I wish you well.
