US EditionThreats follow Michigan lawmaker who said she had surgery to remove reproductive organs
- Michigan State Rep. Laurie Pohutsky revealed she underwent voluntary sterilization to avoid pregnancy due to concerns about future access to contraception under President Trump, stating, "I refuse to let my body be treated as currency by an administration that only sees value in my ability to procreate."
- Pohutsky made her remarks during a protest at the Michigan Capitol, where hundreds gathered to oppose Trump's return to power, part of the 50501 movement aiming to protest in all 50 states.
- GOP State Rep. Brad Paquette criticized Pohutsky's public disclosure, claiming it promotes misinformation for political gain and condemning the announcement as self-harm.
- Michigan remains a pro-abortion state, having enshrined the right to abortion in its constitution in 2022, despite Trump's administration reinstating policies limiting federal funding for abortions.
