Former first lady Melania Trump reportedly offers vocal support for abortion rights in her “deeply personal” new memoir, despite Donald Trump’s instrumental role in rolling back abortion protections.
“Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body?” Melania Trump writes in the forthcoming Melania, according to a review copy obtained by The Guardian. “A woman’s fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes.”
“Restricting a woman’s right to choose whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is the same as denying her control over her own body. I have carried this belief with me throughout my entire adult life,” she reportedly writes elsewhere.
In the book, Melania reportedly argues that there are “numerous reasons” beyond fundamental rights why a woman might want an abortion, including a dangerous pregnancy or one tied to rape or incest.
