The former first lady signals she is taking a different stance on abortion rights than her husband in a new video and memoir.
Republican presidential nominee and former US president Donald Trump and Melania Trump on day four of the Republican National Convention. Melania Trump has revealed her support for abortion rights – a view on the crucial election issue that is in stark contrast to her husband Donald Trump and much of the Republican party.
"Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body?" she wrote, according to The Guardian. "Donald Trump has made it abundantly clear: If he wins in November, he will ban abortion nationwide, punish women, and restrict women's access to reproductive health care."
Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, said the memoir was another example of "the Trumps playing voters like a fiddle".)
