Michelle Obama facing backlash over claim about women's reproductive health

Former First Lady Michelle Obama's remarks on women's reproductive health in her podcast draw criticism from pro-life activists and media personalities.

"I attempted to make the argument on the campaign trail this past election was that there’s just so much more at stake and because so many men have no idea about what women go through," Obama said. She went on to claim that the lack of research on women’s health shapes male leaders’ perceptions of the issue of abortion.

"Women’s reproductive health is about our life. It’s about this whole complicated reproductive system that the least of what it does is produce life," Obama added, "It’s a very important thing that it does, but you only produce life if the machine that’s producing it — if you want to whittle us down to a machine — is functioning in a healthy, streamlined kind of way."
