Melania Trump says she supports women's 'individual freedoms,' including abortion rights
Her views contrast sharply with the GOP's anti-abortion platform and with Donald Trump, who has repeatedly taken credit for his role in helping overturn Roe v. Wade
by Christine Fernando · National PostCHICAGO — Melania Trump revealed her support for abortion rights Thursday ahead of the release of her upcoming memoir, exposing a stark contrast with her husband, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, on the crucial election issue.
In a video posted to her X account Thursday morning, the former first lady defended women’s “individual freedoms” to do what they want with their bodies — a position at odds with much of the Republican Party and her own husband, who has struggled to find a consistent message on abortion while wedged between anti-abortion supporters within his base and the majority of Americans who support abortion rights.
