Former first lady Melania Trump defended her beliefs on abortion in a recent interview, expressing her support for individual freedom and a woman’s right to decide what to do with her own body. These views, detailed in her upcoming memoir “Melania,” contrast with those of her husband, former President Donald Trump, who has previously advocated for restrictions on abortion. Melania emphasized that her beliefs were long-held and stated that her husband respected her autonomy in expressing her views. She also clarified that her book was written before the election, indicating that her timing was not deliberate. Donald Trump has also evolved on the issue of abortion, from celebrating the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2023 to expressing support for a 15-week federal abortion limit earlier this year. He also criticized Florida’s six-week abortion ban as being too restrictive. Melania’s comments have added a new dimension to the ongoing debate over abortion rights, as Democrats attempt to portray Donald Trump as anti-abortion leading up to the election. The couple’s differing views highlight the complexity and ongoing debate surrounding reproductive rights in the United States.
