There are women who believe that Donald Trump’s victory spells the potential end of reproductive rights. It doesn’t matter that Trump categorized abortion as a state issue rather than a federal issue. Fearing that they would lose autonomy over their bodies, some women believe that sterilization would help them mitigate “losing” this right.<\/p>\n

From Newsweek:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s not a procedure you’d expect a 28-year-old to be planning. But for Lydia Echols from Texas, having her fallopian tubes removed is the price she’s willing to pay to ensure her reproductive rights.<\/p>\n

Newsweek spoke to five women who have either undergone sterilization procedures or plan to in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory on November 5. They all expressed fear their reproductive choices will be taken from them under Trump’s administration.<\/p>\n

“If I am to be denied any rights in the next four (or more) years, I will not give them up without a fight,” Echols said.<\/p>\n

Newsweek has contacted Trump’s transition team, via email, for comment.<\/p>\n

Last week, a 39-year-old from Washington state, who did not want to be named, underwent a bilateral salpingectomy, in which her fallopian tubes were removed.<\/p>\n

“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 told Newsweek.<\/p>\n

The issue of abortion and reproductive rights was a major one in this year’s election. Trump, who took credit for the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, removing the constitutional right to an abortion in the country, has repeatedly said that his position is to let the states decide their own abortion laws.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
