During the discussion, the former first lady lamented that women\u2019s reproductive health &#8216;has been reduced to the question of choice.&#8217;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I attempted to make the argument on the campaign trail this past election was that there\u2019s just so much more at stake and because so many men have no idea about what women go through,&#8217; Obama said. She went on to claim that the lack of research on women\u2019s health shapes male leaders\u2019 perceptions of the issue of abortion.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Women\u2019s reproductive health is about our life. It\u2019s about this whole complicated reproductive system that the least of what it does is produce life,&#8217; Obama added, &#8216;It\u2019s a very important thing that it does, but you only produce life if the machine that\u2019s producing it \u2014 if you want to whittle us down to a machine \u2014 is functioning in a healthy, streamlined kind of way.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>In the same episode, the former first lady seemed to scold Republican men by saying that the men who &#8216;sit on their hands&#8217; over abortion are choosing to &#8216;trade out women\u2019s health for a tax break or whatever it is.&#8217; Obama also criticized Republican women, suggesting they voted for President Donald Trump because of their husbands.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;There are a lot of men who have big chairs at their tables, there are a lot of women who vote the way their man is going to vote, it happened in this election.&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;Becoming&#8217; author\u2019s remarks drew criticism from pro-life activists, including Danielle D\u2019Souza Gill, the wife of Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas. The couple announced the birth of their second child earlier in May.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Motherhood is the most beautiful and powerful gift God gave women. Creating life isn\u2019t a side effect, it\u2019s a miracle. Don\u2019t let the Left cheapen it,&#8217; D\u2019Souza Gill wrote in a post on X.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-media twitter\">\n<div class=\"tweet-embed\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Isabel Brown, a content creator and author, also slammed the former first lady as a &#8216;supposed feminist icon.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;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] \u2018lesser than\u2019 for women,&#8217; Brown wrote.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-media twitter\">\n<div class=\"tweet-embed\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>At the time of this writing, Obama&#8217;s podcast is ranked 51 on Apple Podcasts and doesn&#8217;t appear on the list of the top 100 podcasts on Spotify.
