Melania Trump made an extraordinary declaration in an eagerly awaited memoir to be published a month from election day: she is a passionate supporter of a womanâs right to control her own body â including the right to abortion.
âIt is imperative to guarantee that women have autonomy in deciding their preference of having children, based on their own convictions, free from any intervention or pressure from the government,â the Republican nomineeâs wife writes, amid a campaign in which Donald Trumpâs threats to womenâs reproductive rights have played a central role.
âWhy should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body? A womanâs fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes.
âRestricting a womanâs right to choose whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is the same as denying her control over her own body. I have carried this belief with me throughout my entire adult life.â
You suppose trump knew that was in there? And ya gotta wonder what the campaign is thinking about this as well.
But good on here for finally showing us she has at least one independent thought.
Unless it was just overlooked while she plagiarized other authors for her book.
