(Scypre.com) – Former First Lady Michelle Obama is facing criticism from pro-life activists and conservative figures following comments she made about women’s reproductive health on her podcast, “IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson.”
In the May 28, 2025 episode, Obama discussed the complexities of women’s reproductive health with OB/GYN Dr. Sharon Malone. During the conversation, she stated that creating life is “the least” of what a woman’s reproductive system does. She lamented that women’s health issues have been reduced to the question of choice and criticized Republican men and women for their stances on abortion.
Obama’s remarks have drawn criticism from pro-life activists, including Danielle D’Souza Gill, who wrote on social media, “Motherhood is the most beautiful and powerful gift God gave women. Creating life isn’t a side effect, it’s a miracle. Don’t let the Left cheapen it.” Isabel Brown, a content creator and author, also criticized Obama, stating, “I am SO sick [and] tired of celebrities [and] elitists attempting to convince you that your miraculous superpower ability to GROW LIFE from nothing is somehow demeaning [and] ‘lesser than’ for women.”
At the time of this writing, Obama’s podcast is ranked 51 on Apple Podcasts and 91 on Spotify’s trending list. The episode with Dr. Malone is available on YouTube, where it has garnered just under 41,150 views.
The backlash underscores the ongoing national debate over women’s reproductive rights and the influence of public figures in shaping public discourse on such issues.
