Melania Trump Defends Abortion Rights, Putting Her at Odds with Donald Trump and GOP

HeadlineOct 04, 2024

Melania Trump has spoken publicly in favor of the right to have an abortion. The former first lady made the remarks in a video teasing the release of her new self-titled memoir.

Melania Trump: “Without a doubt, there is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right that all women possess from birth: individual freedom. What does 'my body, my choice' really mean?”

Melania Trump’s statement puts her at odds with most of the Republican Party, including her husband Donald Trump, who has boasted about overturning the constitutional right to an abortion.

On Saturday, Trump is planning to return to Butler, Pennsylvania, to rally supporters at the site of July’s assassination attempt against him. Trump will be joined on stage by billionaire Elon Musk.
