Michelle Obama and Sharon Stone discuss abortion rights on podcast

During an episode of the podcast ‘IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson’, former First Lady Michelle Obama and actress Sharon Stone discussed reproductive rights and abortion access.

Stone shared personal experiences regarding a teenage pregnancy and subsequent abortion, noting that a lack of sex education and support contributed to the difficulty of the situation. She criticized current restrictions on OB-GYN care and the prosecution of women following miscarriages.

In a hypothetical discussion about gender and pregnancy, Stone remarked that if men could become pregnant, abortion access would be as simple as using a vending machine. Obama joined the conversation with satirical commentary, imagining a ‘birth Olympics’ where men would film themselves in labor to receive trophies and recognition for their pain.
