According to a report from Newsweek, anti-Trump women are undergoing the procedure to supposedly protest in support of women’s “reproductive rights.”
The outlet spoke to five women who said they had themselves sterilized themselves because of fears about women’s rights under another Trump administration.
However, President Trump has never promoted policies that hurt women’s rights.
In fact, he campaigned in support of women’s rights during the 2024 election.
Additionally, Trump didn’t take any action during his first four years in office to suggest he has an anti-women agenda.
“If I am to be denied any rights in the next four (or more) years, I will not give them up without a fight,” a liberal woman from Texas told the outlet.
Another woman said, “I am not happy that I felt forced into a surgery I did not want to alter my body, I feel like the election tied my hands and forced me to be sterilized—that is horrible.”
She didn’t explain why she had been “forced” into the procedure, however.
The husband of one of the women interviewed by the outlet had already had a vasectomy.
As Newsweek notes, abortion and reproductive rights were a major issue during the recent election.
Trump took credit for the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade in 2022.
The ruling removed the Constitutional right to abortion, sending the decision back to the states.
However, the president-elect has made it clear that he does not support a federal abortion ban.
He has long asserted that abortion access should be decided by the states and not the federal government.
The suggestion that Trump is trying to ban abortion is a fabrication by the Democrats and their fearmongering allies in the corporate media.
It’s unclear at present exactly how many women have chosen to undergo sterilization procedures as a result of Trump’s victory.
In the immediate aftermath of the Dobbs decision, which repealed Roe v. Wade, there was a significant uptick in sterilizations among both sexes.
The increase in the number of female procedures was almost double the increase in male procedures.
However, the increase among men was still huge.
The spike can only be explained as a response to the Supreme Court’s decision.
Daily web searches for “Where can I get a vasectomy?” surged when the draft Dobbs decision was released in May 2022.
The searches increased by 850%, according to The Guardian.
