The wife of American presidential candidate Donald Trump caused a stir shortly before the elections: Melania Trump explains in her memoirs that abortion is a “fundamental woman’s right to individual freedom” – completely contrary to the party line of her husband’s party .
Trump’s book will not be published until Tuesday, but The Guardian newspaper has already revealed explosive passages from it. In it, Polanker’s wife advocates the right to abortion, because it gives women the “power to terminate their pregnancies if they wish.”
Trump speaks of lifelong conviction
“Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to decide what she does with her own body?” “Limiting a woman’s right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is like denying her control over her own body.” That is her lifelong belief.
Here is Melania Trump promoting her book about X:
In this way, Melania Trump is clearly positioning herself against her husband, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, on a central campaign issue, which wants to leave the decision on abortion laws to individual US states. A spokesperson for the former first lady did not immediately respond to a question from the Reuters news agency.
Challenge to election campaign strategy?
Political observers see the development as a possible challenge to Donald Trump’s election campaign strategy. The discrepancy between the Trump couple’s positions could call into question the Republican nominee’s credibility and give Democrats new points of attack.
