Summary

Michigan State Rep. Laurie Pohutsky revealed she underwent sterilization to prevent pregnancy under Donald Trump’s administration, citing concerns over reproductive rights.

Speaking at a rally, she said she refused to let her body be “treated as currency.” Her decision follows Trump’s executive actions impacting reproductive healthcare and his association with anti-abortion policies.

Critics on the right ridiculed her, while supporters highlighted growing fears over access to contraception.

Trump denies plans for a national abortion ban, but his policies continue to spark nationwide protests and debates.
