Melania Trump vigorously defends abortion rights in her upcoming memoir

Reproductive rights are one of the hottest issues in the 2024 presidential election, so you might be surprised to learn what Melania Trump reportedly thinks about abortion.

According to her upcoming memoir GuardianMelania Trump strongly defends the right to abortion, saying it is something she has believed in all her life. “It is necessary to guarantee women the autonomy to decide on their preferences regarding having children, based on their own beliefs, free from any intervention or pressure from the government,” she writes.

In his book entitled Melanie” the former first lady continues: “Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to decide what she does with her body? A woman’s fundamental right to personal freedom and to her own life gives her the right to terminate her pregnancy if she so desires. Restricting a woman’s right to decide to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is tantamount to denying her control over her own body. I have carried this belief with me throughout my adult life.

we should notice Charm has not received a copy of the book, which is scheduled for release on October 8, and therefore cannot independently confirm this passage.

While Donald Trump’s position on abortion can be read as nonsense at best, his running mate, J.D. Vance, has called for a nationwide abortion ban in the past. It would be Melania Trump’s biggest public divergence from her husband’s policy positions since he began running for president in 2016.
