In Her Memoir, Melania Trump Outlines 'Legitimate Reasons' To Get An Abortion

Melania Trump's new memoir was released on Tuesday, in which the former first lady discusses her pro-abortion stance, expressing full support for the slogan "My body, my choice." She emphasizes that a "woman's fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes." In her book, she outlines several “legitimate” reasons for a woman to seek an abortion."There are several legitimate reasons for a woman to choose to have an abortion. For instance, if her life is at risk, rape, a congenital birth defect, plus severe medical conditions," Melania writes.“Indeed, most people agree that abortion should be permissible in cases where a woman’s life is at risk due to the pregnancy, as well as those situations where the pregnancy is a result of rape or incest,” she adds. “Timing matters.”During an interview about her book, Melania revealed that her husband Donald Trump was aware of her views on abortion. “Donald Trump knew my position and my beliefs since the day we met,” she said in an Fox News interview. “And I believe in individual freedom. I want to decide what I want to do with my body.” “I don’t want government in my personal business,” she added.Melania also voiced her beliefs in a promotional video for the book.“Individual freedom is a fundamental principle that I safeguard. Without a doubt there is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right that all women possess from birth,” she said in a video posted on X.“Individual freedom. What does ‘my body, my choice’ really mean?” she added.
