Former first lady Melania Trump posted a video discussing individual freedom and women’s rights, specifically on abortion rights. The video came after a report was published about her forthcoming memoir, in which she supports abortion rights. Former President Donald Trump mentioned that Melania should write what she believes in. The Trump campaign spokesperson emphasized Donald Trump’s view that states should have the right to determine abortion laws. Melania’s stance on abortion rights sparked criticism from anti-abortion groups and reproductive rights organizations, with accusations of inconsistency and confusion. Planned Parenthood Action Fund and Reproductive Freedom for All expressed concerns about Melania’s statements potentially misleading voters. Melania’s support for abortion rights is seen as conflicting with her husband’s actions during his presidency, where he worked to overturn Roe v. Wade. The contrast between Melania’s stance and Vice President Harris’s dedication to reproductive freedom has drawn attention. Critics question Melania’s timing and motive for expressing support for abortion rights, as it comes late in her husband’s term and when addressing voters during an election cycle.
