In the highly anticipated biography which will be published in the United States next Tuesday, one month before the elections, Melania Trumpformer first lady and wife of presidential candidate Donald, makes an extraordinary statement: she is a passionate and convinced supporter of women’s right to decide about their own bodies, including the right to have an abortion. «It is essential to ensure that women have autonomy in deciding whether to have children, based on their own beliefs, free from any intervention or pressure from the government – writes the wife of the Republican candidate in her biography -. Restricting a woman’s right to choose whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is tantamount to denying her control over her own body. I have carried this belief with me throughout my adult life.”

Vance against Walz, back and forth on climate and abortion in a “polite” TV duel
by our correspondent Alberto Simoni
Melania Trump has rarely expressed political opinions in public. The book, which reveals how the former first lady is at odds with most of her partyis a notable expression of support for freedom of choice not only given that her wife is a Republican candidate running on an anti-abortion platform, but also given the severe deterioration of women’s reproductive rights under President Donald Trump. In 2022, in the Supreme Court case Dobbs v. Jackson, three justices were seated when Donald Trump was president they voted to overturn “Roe v. Wade”the ruling that had protected federal abortion rights since 1973. Since then, Republican-run states have instituted draconian abortion bans. Donald Trump has sought to both take credit for the Dobbs decision, long the primary focus of donors and evangelical and conservative Catholic voters, both to avoid the fury he has provoked by saying that abortion rights should be decided by the states.
Also JD Vance, Donald Trump’s choice for vice presidentsaid he would support a national abortion ban. Even before talking about abortion, Melania Trump writes that she does not agree with her husband on some aspects of immigration policy, also because she was an immigrant herself. “Occasional political disagreements between my husband and I are part of our relationship, but I have felt comfortable addressing them privately rather than challenging him publicly,” she writes. “I have always believed that it is essential that people take care of themselves first,” writes Melania Trump of her support for abortion rights. «It’s a very simple concept; Indeed, we are all born with a set of basic rights, including the right to enjoy life. We all have the right to maintain a rewarding and dignified existence. This common-sense approach applies to a woman’s natural right to make decisions about her body and her health.”
