- Melania surprised her fans with comments at her husband’s rally at Madison Square Garden
- The former first lady’s memoirs were published on October 8
Melania Trump on Tuesday morning explained her decision to reveal her pro-abortion stance just a month before the 2024 presidential election.
With exactly one week until Election Day, the former first lady joined Fox & Friends to talk about her new book after surprising her husband’s supporters with her first appearance at a rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. .
Melania’s eponymous memoir was published on October 8 and included a passionate defense of abortion rights.
A member of the live Fox studio audience questioned Melania about how she dropped the “little pro-choice bombshell at the president in the middle of his fight for his career” and how he responded.
“My husband knew my position, my beliefs from the day we met,” Melania divulged.
Former first lady Melania Trump reiterated her pro-choice stance on Fox & Friends Tuesday morning after revealing her defense of abortion rights in her memoir earlier this month.
“It wasn’t a big surprise to him,” he continued. “I guess other people, the world didn’t know where I stood.”
“He wasn’t surprised, he knew it,” he reiterated.
The former first lady and longtime model rarely expresses her own political opinions, but she waded into the water after abortion became the center of the 2024 race.
After former President Trump appointed three Supreme Court justices during his only term, a six-to-three conservative majority overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022.
This eliminated federal protections for abortion rights and sent the issue back to the states.
Trump maintains that it should be up to individual states to decide how to handle abortion and that it should not be a matter for the federal government.
The former first lady urged viewers and Fox studio audiences to read her book if they want to know more about what she thinks about women’s rights and abortion.
Melania wrote in her book how important abortion rights are to her and how passionate she is about women’s right to control their own bodies.
Melania joined the Fox & Friends couch with a live studio audience asking the former first lady questions exactly one week before Election Day 2024.
Melania surprised MAGA fans by making surprise comments on stage at her husband Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday, October 27.
“It is imperative to ensure that women have the autonomy to decide their preference to have children, based on their own beliefs, free from any government intervention or pressure,” Trump’s wife writes in her book.
She continues: ‘Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body? A woman’s fundamental right to individual freedom, to her own life, gives her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she so 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 adult life.’
It is the first time that Melania is considered to be so out of step with the party led by her husband.
