State Rep. Laurie Pohutsky’s account was cheered by the left-leaning protestors and condemned by right-wing social media accounts.

The 36-year-old Democrat said the surgery was a personal decision she had been considering for a few years and was finalized by Trump’s election. She wanted to validate the fears other women might have about access to contraception by sharing it.

She told The Associated Press that she has received threats since speaking this week, referring at least one of them to Michigan authorities. The Associated Press reached out to Michigan State police for comment.

“I don’t fully grasp the level of animosity that people have about this,” Pohutsky said.

    Ugh.

    I wish a meteor would hit Twitter’s HQ and main data center, right now, and I don’t understand why people are so addicted to such a gruesome site.

    I found it spammy and annoying enough to never post, years ago, even with some of my niche communities largely there.
