What Ever Happened to a Small Monthly Donation? Environmentalist Sterilizes Self to Save Planet

In what is called the ultimate sacrifice for the planet, environmentalist Toni Vernelli announced this week that she not only terminated a pregnancy but had herself sterilized to save the planet from more people.
