Former First Lady Melania Trump is breaking with her husband on a major issue: abortion.
In a video posted on X promoting her upcoming memoir, Trump announced her pro-abortion views saying “there is no room for compromise” on the issue of women being allowed to abort their unborn children.
Melania said she has “carried” her pro-abortion views “throughout [her] entire adult life,” a break from her husband’s pro-life record while he was in office. Her remarks on abortion come less than five weeks before the 2024 election as Democrats are focusing on the issue to motivate their base.
Paragraphs of Melania’s memoir published by The Guardian on Wednesday go into more detail on her support for abortion.
“Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body? A woman’s fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes,” Melania writes, adding, “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.”
In her book, Melania writes about disagreements between her and her husband, including on some aspects of immigration policy, The Guardian reported. She writes that “occasional political disagreements between me and my husband” are “part of our relationship, but I believed in addressing them privately rather than publicly challenging him.”
How dare she have a mind of her own! (sarcasm)
Melania was & will be a classy first lady which we desperately need in the white house after 4 years of Jill Biden.
