In a forthcoming book, former first lady Melania Trump expresses her unwavering support for a woman's right to an abortion, taking a stance that contrasts with her husband's position on the issue.
The book is scheduled to be released on October 8th, just a few weeks before US electionsunderlines Melania's faith Autonomy of women when it comes to making decisions about your own committee without government intervention.
According to excerpts obtained by The Guardian, Melania claimed: “Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to decide what she does with her own body? A woman's fundamental right to individual freedom grants her the power to terminate her pregnancy if she… “wishes.”
She further emphasized that “restricting a woman's right to decide whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is the same as denying her control over her own body” and revealed that this belief has continued “throughout my adult life.” was a part of her.
Melania's position too Abortion rights is markedly different from that of her husband, former President Donald Trump, who has taken a more conservative approach to the issue. The book also reveals Melania's disagreement with some of her husband's immigration policies during his presidency.
Trump's appointment of three Supreme Court justices was instrumental in overturning Roe v. Wade was repealed in 2022, allowing states to implement their own abortion restrictions.
Despite Trump's recent statement that if re-elected he would veto a federal abortion ban and leave the decision to states based on the will of their voters, abortion remains a crucial issue in the 2024 election. Polls suggest the Democratic nominee Kamala Harris has a clear advantage over Trump on the issue, even as he tries to downplay its significance by claiming that women wouldn't “think about abortion” if he's re-elected.
During her husband's last presidential campaign, Melania kept a low profile. Her office describes the book as “a powerful and inspiring story of a woman who forged her own path, overcome adversity and defined personal excellence,” and offers a rare glimpse into her personal views and experiences.
