Former first lady Michelle Obama created a stir on social media Saturday when she used an unusual spelling of the word “women.”
In an extensive Instagram post, Obama shared her concern about the Supreme Court potentially overturning Roe v. Wade and substituted the conventional spelling of “women” for the atypical “womxn.”
“State lawmakers will have the power to strip womxn of the right to make decisions about their bodies and their healthcare,” one slide of the post read.
