‘State lawmakers will have the power to strip womxn of the right to make decisions about their bodies and their healthcare,’ one of the slides Obama shared read.

The term ‘womxn’ is intended to be inclusive of transgender and non-binary people who identify as women, but critics say using the phrase erases the experience of cisgender women.

Obama used the traditional spelling in the caption of the post: ‘It’s been a tough couple of weeks since we saw the leaked SCOTUS draft opinion on abortion.’
