On September 30, actress Sharon Stone told Michelle Obama that she had an abortion when she was 18, triggering a conversation in which both women insisted that if men could get abortions, it would be available in vending machines.
Michelle Obama launched the IMO podcast in March 2025 with her brother Craig Robinson, and it swiftly garnered a reputation for being a platform for the former first lady’s grievances. Wednesday’s episode was no different.
Stone began by stating that women’s care has been under-researched, and then claimed that some want to “prosecute women for having a miscarriage,” an objectively false characterization of pro-life protections for pre-born children. “What kind of arcane bulls**t is this?” Stone demanded. (The kind an abortion activist actress invents is the correct answer here.)
