Former First Lady Melania Trump, in her upcoming memoir “Melania,” expresses her support for women’s autonomy over their own bodies, including the right to abortion. According to an excerpt cited by The Guardian, she states, “It is imperative to guarantee that women have autonomy” in reproductive decisions without government interference. Melania asserts that denying women the right to choose is equivalent to restricting control over their own bodies.
This stance comes during her husband’s 2024 presidential campaign, where abortion remains a divisive issue, particularly after the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson ruling, which overturned Roe v. Wade. Former President Trump has since emphasized leaving abortion laws to states, despite previously celebrating the end of Roe v. Wade.
The memoir, set for release on October 8, also delves into Melania’s experiences in the White House and her advocacy work. NPR is seeking confirmation from the book’s publisher on the excerpt.
