From The Hill: Former first lady Melania Trump released a video expressing her support for abortion rights and teasing her forthcoming memoir, in which she reportedly describes being a passionate supporter of a woman’s right to control her own body.

“Individual freedom is a fundamental principle that I safeguard. Without a doubt, there is no room for compromise when it comes to these essential rights that all women possess from birth. Individual freedom. What does ‘my body, my choice’ really mean?” she said in a video posted to the social platform X.

The former first lady’s memoir, titled “Melania,” is set to come out Oct. 8, exactly four weeks before Election Day.

In it, she writes that it’s “imperative to guarantee” that women have the autonomy to decide their preference on having children “based on their own convictions, free from any intervention or pressure from the government,” The Guardian wrote in an exclusive.  

“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,” Trump writes.


The report notes that Mrs. Trump’s views on abortion rights are a direct contradiction to that of her husband and most of his supporters.

“All women possess individual rights from the moment of conception, not the moment of birth,” scolded former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis.

Multiple conservatives are upset that this is all coming out just prior to the election, and others are predicting it’s going to get turned into a Kamala Harris ad.
