Melania Trump revealed in her interview with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo that she is a staunch supporter of abortion rights, unlike her husband, Donald Trump, who insisted that abortion should be a state subject and appointed the three Supreme Court judges who voted to overturn Rove vs Wave in 2022. While the starkly contrasting views of Trump and Melania have become fodder for attack from Trump's opposition, some think it can help soften the former president's image.
The former first lady, who has been absent from the Trump campaign this time around, has launched her memoir in which she has talked about her stance on abortion. Her pre-taped interview with Bartiromo was released Sunday, which caused a stir with people attacking the Trump campaign.
“[Donald Trump] knew my position and my beliefs since the day we met," Melania said. "And I believe in individual freedom. I want to decide what I want to do with my body.
"I think I don’t want government in my personal business,” Melania Trump told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo in a pretaped interview that aired Sunday."
