Former first lady Melania Trump has released a new video expressing support for abortion rights and teasing her upcoming memoir, in which she is an ardent advocate of a woman's right to control her own body. He reportedly said he was a supporter.
“Personal freedom is a fundamental principle that I uphold. There is no question that there is no room for compromise when it comes to these fundamental rights that every woman is entitled to from birth. Personal freedom. “My body. , what does “my choice” actually mean? she said in a video posted to X.
The former first lady's new memoir, “Melania,'' is scheduled to be published on October 8, just four weeks before Election Day.
In it, she said it was “essential to guarantee” women the autonomy to decide whether to have children “based on their own beliefs, without any interference or pressure from the government.” I'm writing. The Guardian wrote: Exclusively.
“Why should anyone other than women themselves have the power to decide what to do with their bodies? A woman's fundamental right to personal freedom over her own life gives her the right to terminate a pregnancy if she wishes. Empowering women,” Melania Trump wrote.
This view is in sharp contrast to the views held by many supporters of former President Trump, who turned centrist on abortion during the campaign.
The former president said earlier this week that if re-elected, he intends to veto any federal abortion ban that comes across his desk. He argues that federal intervention should be kept to a minimum and each state should decide its own abortion laws, but he himself believes that states should decide on their own abortion laws, with minimal federal intervention, although he does not believe in cases of rape, incest, or when the mother's life is in danger. He said he would like to see an exception for abortions.
But abortion rights groups are concerned that the administration could use its executive powers to restrict access to abortions across the country.
And President Trump has said he has “no regrets'' about handpicking the Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade and ended the constitutional right to abortion, a point that Democrats have persistently attacked. I am doing it.
Melania Trump acknowledged in her book that she and her husband have “occasional political differences,” and reportedly addressed them privately. Still, she writes, the issue of abortion is “non-negotiable.”
“The slogan 'My body, my choice' is usually associated with women's activists and those aligned with the pro-choice side of the debate,” she writes. “But if you think about it, 'my body, my choice' applies to both sides. So a woman's right to make independent decisions regarding her body includes the right to choose her life.” Also included.
