ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kalamazoo, Michigan – 26 October 2024
1. Michelle Obama takes to stage.
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Michelle Obama, Former first lady:
“Believe me, if Donald Trump is president again at some point or another, that ugliness will touch all of our lives and it will not matter what you look like, how you worship, who you love or how you vote. If you don’t make six or 8 or 12 figures, if you’re not famous, if you criticize or disagree with him in any way, if he doesn’t view you as his equal or relevant to his ambitions, I promise you he will not think about you when he gets into the Oval Office.”

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Michelle Obama, Former first lady:
“Let me take a minute to help folks, especially the men in our lives, to get a better sense of what could happen if we keep dismantling parts of our reproductive care system. Piece by piece, as Trump intends to do.”
++BLACK FRAMES++
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Michelle Obama, Former first lady:
“There are good reasons why so many women and physicians are horrified by what’s happened since Donald Trump’s justices overturn Roe v Wade. We’re seeing women scrambling across state lines to get the care they need. Just this week, a major medical journal reported that after a row was overturned, infant mortality in this country rose in large part because women are being forced to carry fetuses that won’t survive to term. One woman spent 22 days in jail on murder charges after she miscarried in her own bathroom.”
++BLACK FRAMES++
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Michelle Obama, Former first lady:
“So so just imagine the profound effects for all of us. If Donald Trump wins this election in states that are already putting abortion bans into effect, his FDA could further outlaw patchwork systems of telehealth appointments and mail order pills, thereby eliminating the last remaining protections for women in those states. He could take actions that effectively ban abortion nationwide, which will put all of us in danger no matter what state we live in. We will see more doctors hesitating or shying away from providing lifesaving treatments because they are worried about being arrested.”
++BLACK FRAMES++
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Michelle Obama, Former first lady:
“Please do not hand and 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.”
++BLACK FRAMES++
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Michelle Obama, Former first lady:
“It is reasonable to be frustrated. We all know we have a lot more work to do in this country. But to anyone out there thinking about sitting out this election or voting for Donald Trump or a third party candidate in protest because you’re fed up, let me warn you, your rage does not exist in a vacuum. If we don’t get this election right, your wife, your daughter, your mother, we as women will become collateral damage to your rage.”
++ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++
STORYLINE:
Michelle Obama delivered a searing speech in support of Kamala Harris during a rally in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It was her first appearance on the campaign trail since the Democratic National Convention over the summer.
Obama’s speech focused on abortion rights and challenged men to vote for Harris to be the country’s first female president.
She said men should not allow their anger at the country’s slow pace of progress to prevent them from thinking of the women that could be harmed under a second Donald Trump presidency.
