CV NEWS FEED // According to a report by a left-wing British publication, former first Lady Melania Trump is set to include pro-abortion language in her soon to be published memoir.
The new book, titled Melania, is set to be released October 8, just a month before the election. Excerpts of the book were obtained and first published by the left-wing news source The Guardian, in which Mrs. Trump appears to advance Democrat pro-abortion talking points, including a “woman’s fundamental right… to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes.”
“It is imperative to guarantee that women have autonomy in deciding their preference of having children, based on their own convictions, free from any intervention or pressure from the government,” she argues, per The Guardian.
Seeming to pit individual freedom against the sanctity of life, Melania reportedly repeated the oft-used slogan that abortion is about a woman’s “control over her own body,” ignoring the fact that the baby’s body is distinct from the mother’s, with its own DNA.
“Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body?” Melania writes. “A woman’s fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes.”
Restricting a woman’s right to choose whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is the same as denying her control over her own body. I have carried this belief with me throughout my entire adult life.
She argued that the “right to enjoy our lives” justified the ending of the life of an unborn child, making abortion a matter of “mainitain(ing) a gratifying and dignified existence.”
“I have always believed it is critical for people to take care of themselves first,” she said. “It’s a very straightforward concept; in fact, we are all born with a set of fundamental rights, including the right to enjoy our lives. We are all entitled to maintain a gratifying and dignified existence. This common-sense approach applies to a woman’s natural right to make decisions about her own body and health.”
The former First Lady also even appeared to defend late-term abortions, many of which result in a live birth and infanticide, as National Right to Life has recently exposed, which CatholicVote has reported.

Melania claimed that “historically, most abortions conducted during the later stages of pregnancy were the result of severe fetal abnormalities that probably would have led to the death or stillbirth of the child. Perhaps even the death of the mother. These cases were extremely rare and typically occurred after several consultations between the woman and her doctor. As a community, we should embrace these common-sense standards. Again, timing matters,” she wrote.
She continued, “Many women opt for abortions due to personal medical concerns. These situations with significant moral implications weigh heavily on the woman and her family and deserve our empathy.”
Consider, for example, the complexity inherent in the decision of whether the mother should risk her own life to give birth. When confronted with an unexpected pregnancy, young women frequently experience feelings of isolation and significant stress. I, like most Americans, am in favor of the requirement that juveniles obtain parental consent before undergoing an abortion. I realize this may not always be possible.
The former First Lady went so far as to call for a lifting of what she called the “cultural stigma” placed on abortion, championing the Democrat pro-abortion slogan, “my body, my choice.”
Our next generation must be provided with knowledge, security, safety, and solace, and the cultural stigma associated with abortion must be lifted. The slogan “My Body, My Choice” is typically associated with women activists and those who align with the pro-choice side of the debate. But if you really think about it, “My Body, My Choice” applies to both sides – a woman’s right to make an independent decision involving her own body, including the right to choose life. Personal freedom.
Melania repeated the pro-abortion slogan in a video posted on X to promote her book. “Individual freedom is a fundamental principle that I safeguard,” she said. “Without a doubt, there is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right that all women possess from birth: individual freedom. What does ‘my body, my choice’ really mean?”
During Tuesday’s Vice Presidential debate, former President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social in all caps that he “would not support a federal abortion ban, under any circumstances, and would, in fact, veto it.”
The former President went on to condemn late-term abortions as the “democrats radical position” and infanticide, which often occurs with a live birth after an attempted abortion, as “execution of the baby after birth.”
