In an unexpected revelation from her upcoming memoir Melania, the former first lady Melania Trump openly supports a woman’s right to abortion. Known for her privacy in political matters, Melania surprises readers with her firm stance, saying, “A woman’s fundamental right of individual liberty… grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes.”

Her defense of personal freedom marks a departure from her husband, Donald Trump’s anti-abortion policies. She writes, “Restricting a woman’s right to choose… is the same as denying her control over her own body.” This statement could have significant cultural implications, especially with the book's release scheduled just before the 2024 presidential election.

While her husband’s appointment of conservative Supreme Court justices led to the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, Melania aligns herself with pro-choice activists, emphasizing empathy in these complex moral situations. She adds, “The slogan ‘My Body, My Choice’ applies to both sides… a woman’s right to make an independent decision involving her own body.”

The memoir is expected to reignite debates about women’s reproductive rights and spark interest in Melania’s political and personal ideologies.
