Former first lady Michelle Obama spoke at a rally for Kamala Harris in Kalamazoo, Michigan Saturday night. During her anger-fueled 40-minute speech, Obama raged against former President Donald Trump, and blasted anyone who would even consider not voting for Kamala Harris.
Obama’s speech also included a lengthy tirade about abortion rights, in which she used graphic details of women’s health issues to try to convince men to vote for Harris, claiming they should should do so to protect the women they loved, and implied that the pro-life moment would take away women’s healthcare entirely.
She declared that she was going to paint a picture of what America would look like if it keeps “revoking basic care for its women.” She even claimed that women could be at higher risk of dying from undiagnosed cervical cancer “because they have no access to regular gynecological care.”
“The devastating consequences of teen pregnancy won’t just be born by young girls but also by the young men who are the fathers. They too will have their dreams of going to college… their entire futures totally upended by an unwanted pregnancy,” Obama raged.
“If your wife is shivering and bleeding on the operating room table during a routine delivery gone bad, her pressure dropping as she loses more and more blood, or some unforeseen infection spreads and her doctors aren’t sure if they can act, you will be the one praying that it’s not too late. You will be the one pleading for somebody, anybody, to do something,” Obama dramatically claimed.
“I am asking y’all from the core of my being to take our lives seriously,” she declared. ”If we don’t get this election right, your wife, your daughter, your mother, we as women will become collateral damage to your rage. So are you as men prepared to look into the eyes of the women and children you love and tell them you supported this assault on our safety?”
“Do not hand our fates over to the likes of Trump, who knows nothing about us, who has shown deep contempt for us. Because a vote for him is a vote against us, against our health, against our worth,” Obama frantically claimed.
Below is her entire rant, as she spews fear and misinformation to make her case for abortion rights.

The wild claims that Obama made had just been debunked the night before.
Ingrid Skop, M.D., FACOG, who has over 30 years’ experience as a practicing obstetrician-gynecologist, posted a statement on social media Friday night and debunked the many false claims Democrats are pushing about laws that put limits on abortions.
Skop is also the Vice President and Director of Medical Affairs for Charlotte Lozier Institute, an education & research arm of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America.
In a series of posts on X, Skop wrote:
I’m a board-certified OB-GYN currently practicing in Texas. I have been practicing for over 30 years and I have delivered over 5,000 babies.
Allow me to shed some light on the harmful lies coming from the pro-abortion lobby.
After Texas enacted its pro-life law, the quality medical care I provide did not change nor has the law prevented me from caring for my patients. This is true even in cases of pregnancy emergencies.

Since the Dobbs decision, I have cared for many women suffering from ruptured ectopic pregnancies. I have performed surgeries to treat incomplete miscarriages and failed drug-induced abortions.
I have intervened when a pregnancy complication threatened a mother’s life, even when I anticipated that sadly, the unborn child would not survive the action required to protect his mother.

Under every pro-life law, including in Texas, physicians can intervene to save women’s lives in pregnancy emergencies.
In fact, according to a recent Texas Health and Human Services Commission report, physicians reported 116 abortions for medical emergencies and physical health between July 2022 and May 2024.

The pro-abortion lobby is trying to scare women into thinking they can’t be treated during a pregnancy emergency.
The pro-abortion @acog also refuses to provide any guidance or support for doctors who are confused about these laws.
This combination is deadly, and we’ve unfortunately seen women harmed as a result.
Their stories are devastating. These women are victims of a pro-abortion movement that cares more about promoting unlimited, all-trimester abortion over their safety.

I am proud to care for my patients, both moms and their babies.
What we need now more than ever are facts, not fearmongering, so that we can continue to serve our patients with the medical care they deserve.
