Michelle Obama makes bizarre pro-abortion argument: The 'least' of what the female body does 'is produce life'



Former first lady Michelle Obama appealed to pro-abortion Americans by claiming a woman's reproductive system is not primarily intended for bearing children.

On her podcast, "IMO," Mrs. Obama and her guests discussed an alleged bias against women among lawmakers and the pharmaceutical industry, leading to a discussion in support of abortion on demand.

'So many men have no idea about what women go through. Right? We haven't been researched. We haven't been considered.'

Co-host Craig Robinson kicked off the festivities by asking guest Dr. Sharon Malone, an ob-gyn, where women should go to get "proper information" regarding reproductive care, in vitro fertilization, menopause, and more. This related to Obama, as she suffered a miscarriage in the late 1990s and later used IVF to conceive her daughters, Malia and Sasha.

Without answering the question, the doctor immediately shifted to accusing the pharmaceutical industry of not advancing products for women out of bias, "because there's no money to be made" there.

This set Obama off on a tangent about abortions, during which she claimed a lack of investment has led to difficult decisions for pregnant women.

"So many men have no idea about what women go through. Right? We haven't been researched," Obama claimed.

"We haven't been considered, and it still affects the way a lot of male lawmakers, a lot of male politicians, a lot of male religious leaders think about the issue of choice, as if it's just about the fetus, the baby. But women's reproductive health is about our life."

The explanation fell short of a compelling argument, however, with Obama saying that producing children is actually the "least" important function of a woman's reproductive system.

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

She added, "But there is no discussion or apparent connection between the two."

Blaze News spoke to Emily Erin Davis, VP of communications for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, who said hearing Obama's comments was "heartbreaking."

"It's sad to see someone who once represented our country speak about women and children this way," Davis said. "Comments like these don't just devalue motherhood — they devalue womanhood itself."

Similarly, Blaze News' Rebeka Zeljko described Obama's remarks as "absurd" and "damaging to women."

"Many women regard motherhood as their greatest, most fulfilling accomplishment. The only people who 'whittle us down to a machine' are those who dehumanize unborn children and equate an abortion with taking a Tylenol."

After Obama's obscure explanation about women's bodies, Dr. Malone asserted that a woman must "have control over her body, when and if to have a baby, and to decide how that pregnancy should continue."

The doctor insisted she was not referring to abortion, however, and said she was referring only to a miscarriage or when the mother's life is in danger.

Biden admin covered up potentially deadly COVID vaccine side effects for months: Senate report



A Senate report claims that President Joe Biden's administration was aware for months about heart issues stemming from COVID-19 vaccines and purposely withheld the information from the public.

A report from the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations said government officials knew as early as February 2021 about the harmful side effects but waited until June to inform the public of the inherent dangers.

'The federal government was very well aware of the myocarditis signal, particularly in young men.'

The report revealed that U.S. health officials "knew about the risks" the vaccines carried related to myocarditis, inflammation of heart muscle, and pericarditis, inflammation of the fibrous sac surrounding the heart, but "downplayed the health concern" and "delayed informing the public about the risk."

The report, first obtained by the Daily Wire, showed that the U.S. government ignored warnings from several sources.

In February 2021, U.S. entities were notified of adverse effects by the Israeli Ministry of Health, as the country rolled out vaccines faster than America did. Still, CDC officials declined to make public the "large reports of myocarditis, particularly in young people, following the administration of the Pfizer vaccine."

It is unclear whether the Israeli government made an effort to notify the public, either.

That same month, a CDC official who co-led the Vaccine Safety Technical Work Group emailed her colleagues about 19,536 vaccine adverse event reports (through the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) that included 980 deaths after vaccination.

"Where known, the cause of death was often cardiovascular," the report read.

Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) told the Daily Wire that the Biden administration did not want to increase "vaccine hesitancy" by reporting the side effects openly.

"But in being concerned about that, they violated the inviolable principle of informed consent," Johnson told the outlet. “The federal government was very well aware of the myocarditis signal, particularly in young men, as early as February [2021]."

In May 2021, the CDC omitted information from its "clinical considerations" on its website that advised doctors to restrict patients with myocarditis from "rigorous activity like competitive sports for at least 3 months."

The report also said that in June 2021, the White House distributed talking points to U.S. health officials "downplaying the risk of myocarditis."

"The depths of depravity of this cover-up keep getting deeper. They knew about vaccine side effects early on but withheld that information as they continued to push emergency use authorization even as young people were dying," BlazeTV's Matt Kibbe said about the report.

Kibbe added, "This scandal is ultimately about self-dealing between government bureaucrats and pharmaceutical companies, who all had financial incentives to bury the truth and keep pushing the vaccines."

Blaze News reached out to the National Institutes of Health and Health and Human Services for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

Trump FDA Reveals Canada Will Play Major Role In Bringing Drug Prices Down

'For too long, Americans have been getting taken advantage of'

Congress Needs To Grill Joe Biden About Whether He Was Actually President

The American people have a right to know who was actually in charge of the executive branch, with all its awesome power, for four years.

Doctor: Biden’s Team Was Completely Incompetent Or Covered Up His Cancer

The question now is whether Biden's medical team was negligent or lied about his cancer. The American people deserve to know.

Media Ignored Biden’s Health After Spending Years Obsessing Over Trump’s

It’s become fairly obvious that for four years under Joe Biden, the United States was subjected to a puppet presidency in which its commander-in-chief was out to lunch on major policy initiatives enacted by unknown officials within his administration. And for four years, this unelected oligarchy was permitted to exercise its will with virtually no […]

HHS scrapping COVID jab recommendations for pregnant moms and kids: Report



The Department of Health and Human Services is reportedly preparing to scrap its recommendation that pregnant women and kids get the COVID-19 vaccines. Individuals said to be familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal that the announcement is imminent and will coincide with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention kicking off a new vaccine approval framework.

While the relevant agencies apparently did not respond to the Journal's requests for comment, U.S. Food and Drug Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary provided a fairly strong indication this week that the change was coming.

Makary told Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk that he would "love to see the evidence to show that giving young, healthy children another COVID-19 shot — you know, a sixth COVID booster — would help them, but that evidence does not exist, and so we're not going to rubber-stamp things at the FDA."

"I don't think you're going to see a push at the CDC to be pushing COVID shots in young, healthy children," continued Makary, adding that he expected an announcement on that front in the coming weeks.

Sources told the Journal that it would only be a matter of days.

At the time of publication, the CDC was still recommending that everyone ages 6 months and older get a COVID-19 vaccine.

'Connected to serious adverse events, including myocarditis and pericarditis, failed pregnancies, and deaths.'

The agency states on its website that getting the shot is especially important for individuals who have survived this long without one, geriatrics, pregnant women, those planning to conceive, and breastfeeding mothers. The agency urges parents to get their children 6 months to 4 years of age loaded up with two doses of the Moderna vaccine or three doses of the Pfizer vaccine if they were starting fresh.

As of April 26, 14.4% of pregnant women had received a 2024-25 COVID-19 vaccine and 13% of children 6 months to 17 years of age were up to date, CDC data shows.

The CDC stuck with its recommendations until now despite credible warnings from Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo and other experts; troubling scientific studies demonstrating the vaccines were not as safe and effective as advertised; glaring evidence that kids and teens were at low risk for COVID and could go without; and damning state-leveled allegations that one of the primary vaccine manufacturers sat on evidence that its COVID-19 vaccine "was connected to serious adverse events, including myocarditis and pericarditis, failed pregnancies, and deaths."

Just last month, a preprint study backed by the Florida Department of Health suggested that adults in the Sunshine State who received the Pfizer vaccine had "significantly higher risk of 12-month all-cause, cardiovascular, COVID-19, and non-COVID-19 mortality" than those who received the Moderna shot.

A study conducted by the Global COVID Vaccine Safety Project — a Global Vaccine Data Network initiative supported by both the CDC and the HHS — and published last year in the journal Vaccine detailed troubling links between the AstraZeneca, Moderna, and Pfizer vaccines and medical conditions such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, brain and spinal cord inflammation, Bell's palsy, and convulsions.

Another peer-reviewed study published last year in the pharmacotherapy journal Therapeutic Advances in Drug Safety indicated that "COVID-19 vaccination is strongly associated with a serious adverse safety signal of myocarditis, particularly in children and young adults resulting in hospitalization and death."

"COVID-19 vaccines induce an uncontrolled expression of potentially lethal SARS-CoV-2 spike protein within human cells, have a close temporal relationship of events, and are internally and externally consistent with emerging sources of clinical and peer-reviewed data supporting the conclusion that COVID-19 vaccines are deterministic for myocarditis, including fatal cases," said the study.

'The current risks of serious adverse events or deaths outweigh the benefits.'

Texas cardiologist Peter McCullough, a leading critic of the vaccines, said in a statement Thursday, "Two presidents, three HHS Secretaries, three FDA Commissioners, and nearly five years into the disastrous COVID-19 vaccine debacle, women and children receive long overdue yet welcome news. After record vaccine injuries, disabilities, and death, America is wondering will any of these leaders be held accountable?"

Dropping the recommendations appears to be a half measure, given that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. previously fought to revoke authorization of COVID-19 vaccines altogether.

In a petition he filed with the FDA on May 16, 2021, Kennedy said the agency should revoke all emergency use authorizations and refrain from approving future EUAs for any COVID vaccine for all demographic groups "because the current risks of serious adverse events or deaths outweigh the benefits, and because existing, approved drugs provide highly effective prophylaxis and treatment against COVID, mooting the EUAs."

Kennedy noted further that the agency should specifically spare children and pregnant women from the novel vaccines.

Kennedy's warnings and requests evidently fell on deaf ears.

In its final weeks, the Biden HHS extended liability protection to COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers and administrators through Dec. 31, 2029, precluding vaccine recipients who reportedly end up injured or their surviving family members from holding those responsible to account. This was the latest of several such extensions.

The reports of the HHS dropping the vaccine recommendations and other moves made in recent months by the Trump administration have elements of the medical establishment clutching pearls.

Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, told the New York Times, "I think that we are in the midst of watching the vaccine infrastructure being torn down bit by bit."

"I think everything is a target," said Tara Smith, an epidemiologist at Kent State University College of Public Health.

"Overturning the recommendation means that insurance companies will no longer have to cover these vaccines," Dorit Reiss, a law professor at UC Law San Francisco, complained to the health publication Stat.

FDA to ban fluoride prescription products for kids, citing evidence it can lower child IQs



The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is taking action to remove ingestible fluoride prescription drugs for children off the market.

In a press release, the FDA said products that are swallowed offer significant risk to infants and toddlers, unlike toothpaste with fluoride or fluoride rinses.

The FDA also said the ingestion of fluoride products comes with risks like problems with the early development of the gut microbiome in childhood, thyroid disorders, weight gain, and decreased IQ. The federal agency provided links to several studies that point to worrying effects in children, especially in regard to their IQ.

A meta-analysis of studies related to fluoride ingestion and child IQ found an inverse association between fluoride measures in urine and drinking water versus children's IQ.

An inverse association is defined as a relationship where an increase in one variable leads to a decrease in another variable. Simply put, the more fluoride that was in urine samples and drinking water, the lower the measured child IQ was.

The meta-analysis looked at 74 studies from across the world and found that 64 (86%) reported inverse associations between fluoride exposure and measured children's IQ.

'The best way to prevent cavities in children is by avoiding excessive sugar intake and good dental hygiene.'

Michael Connett, an attorney who has sued the EPA over the fluoridation of drinking water, told Blaze News he was happy to see the idea finally come to fruition.

"I think it is an excellent decision, and long overdue," Connett said.

Connett has been at odds with the federal government since at least 2016 when he filed a petition against the FDA on behalf of the Fluoride Action Network. The petition specifically targeted "unapproved prescription drugs" and claimed there was a large body of scientific and medical evidence that demonstrated fluoride supplements were neither safe nor effective.

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, who was confirmed by the Senate in March, said he was instructing the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research to evaluate the evidence regarding the risks of systemic fluoride exposure. With a goal date of October 31 to complete a safety review, the Department of Health and Human Services said it would develop a set of best practices for dental hygiene for children at the same time.

"The best way to prevent cavities in children is by avoiding excessive sugar intake and good dental hygiene, not by altering a child’s microbiome. For the same reason that fluoride may kill bacteria on teeth, it may also kill intestinal bacteria important for a child’s health," Makary said.

RELATED: 100 days of MAHA: What has Robert F. Kennedy Jr. done so far to make America healthy again?

The move comes as Utah became the first state to ban fluoride in its water in March.

Just last week, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his surgeon general, Joseph A. Ladapo, announced they were looking to become the second state to do so.

Ladapo said that proponents of fluoride in the water supply reminded him of the "Peanuts" character Linus, the little boy who carried around a blanket for emotional security.

"You know? Hold your blanket. But, unfortunately, you know, he is a kid. But what we have instead — we have professionals. There are doctors, dentists, [and] public health leaders who are holding on to fluoridation like that blanket," Ladapo said during a press conference.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also said the recent decision "directly safeguards the health and development of our children."
