Michigan state Representative Laurie Pohutsky woke up and decided that something needed to be done. Her home state of Michigan, where the recently passed Proposition 3 enshrined abortion up to birth for any reason and even for minors, suddenly felt unsafe for a 36-year-old with no plans to conceive, yet whose fear of navigating pregnancy in President Donald Trump’s America took on a paralyzing urgency.

So, she did what any rational, pro-abortion woman would do: she sterilized herself.

“Just under two weeks ago, I underwent surgery to ensure that I would never have to navigate a pregnancy in Donald Trump’s America,” she informed a rally of activists about the decision, adding dramatically, “A sitting government official opted for voluntary sterilization because she was uncertain she would be able to access contraception in the future.”

Just a few weeks later, Trump signed an executive order expanding access to in vitro fertilization.

Pohutsky, whose X profile features a cover photo reading “Do Not Die Today,” and who is “openly bisexual,” continues to defend her decision on the grounds that her would-be children are better off dead — or nonexistent — than living in Trump’s America.

Apparently others share her decision. Pohutsky told the Telegraph that several women have reached out to her expressing relief that she had voiced her opinion, some of whom eventually booked their own sterilization. Pohutsky’s legacy was growing.

In a post on Instagram, Pohutsky also shared that she had missed a day of session in order to undergo her surgery, the need for which was allegedly so dire that she “did not feel secure in my ability to reschedule.”

Pohutsky’s husband, Nathan Triplett, who serves as the president of the Michigan American Civil Liberties Union, has praised his wife on X for her pro-abortion activism.

“Nobody, I’ve said it here before and I’ll say it again (and again): No legislator has done more than @lpohutsky19 to protect and advance the cause of abortion access and reproductive freedom in Michigan,” he wrote.

Pohutsky herself has been a radical proponent of rolling back every basic health and safety regulation on abortion in Michigan. She has boasted about her work sponsoring the repeal of a 1931 Michigan pro-life law. She has also claimed that partial birth abortions are “nonexistent” and that laws regulating them are “harmful.” Mere months before Trump won the presidential election, she posted her excitement over learning about “winning issues” such as abortion.

Now, she and her husband will continue advocating so that no other woman in the state is denied the opportunity to remove her fallopian tubes or dismember or chemically kill her unborn children. Unfortunately, as far as Michigan’s Proposition 3 is concerned, many Michiganders will.
