There are a lot of stories out there that don't seem real these days, but this one is toward the top of the list.
Michigan state Rep. Laurie Pohutsky - the Chair of the Michigan Progressive Women's Caucus - admitted yesterday that she went and got sterilized last month because she was scared to become pregnant in Donald Trump's America.
I wish I were joking.
Pohutsky made the announcement at a protest outside the Michigan Capitol Wednesday.
‘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. ‘I refuse to let my body be treated as currency by an administration that only sees value in my ability to procreate.
‘If you know people who are questioning how serious this is, I'm going to repeat myself: A sitting government official opted for voluntary sterilization because she was uncertain she would be able to access contraception in the future.'

Pohutsky seemed to brush off the news:
Pray to God that Pohutsky doesn't influence other young women to do the same.
