Melania Trump, the wife of former President Donald Trump, has made it clear that she believes in a woman’s right to have an abortion, stating that there is “no room for compromise” on the issue. This position is in direct contrast to her husband, who has campaigned on overturning Roe v Wade and leaving the matter up to individual states.
Melania’s comments, made in a video posted on social media, come as she prepares to release her new memoir, titled Melania, next week. In the book, she defends a woman’s right to choose and even supports abortions performed in the later stages of pregnancy in certain circumstances.
Her stance on abortion is likely to cause further division within the Republican Party, especially among evangelicals and hardline conservatives who support strict abortion restrictions. Donald Trump’s wavering stance on the issue has previously sparked backlash from within his own party.
Despite public support for abortion access, particularly among Democrats, Trump has attempted to downplay the issue in his bid to win over female voters. His running mate, JD Vance, has expressed support for a national abortion ban in the past, but Trump has made it clear that he does not support such a ban.
As the debate over abortion continues to play a prominent role in American politics, Melania Trump’s outspoken support for a woman’s right to choose is likely to further highlight the divisions within the Republican Party on this issue.
