Some American women are getting elective surgical procedures to render themselves infertile because Donald Trump won the election.

Another woman, who along with her husband never wanted children, described her decision using language reminiscent of the dystopian world portrayed in *The Handmaid’s Tale*, where women are treated as second-class citizens.

Recent reports have revealed that numerous women in the US are planning to undergo sterilization while they are actually scared of an attack on their reproductive rights by US President- elect Donald Trump.
