    Donald Trump’s number 1 employee, his paid wife, has written in no uncertain terms that she is 100% pro-choice for convenience. Awkward. I guess Donald didn’t read the fine print of her contract. Hilarious.

    Melania Trump passionately defends abortion rights in upcoming memoir

    Melania Trump made an extraordinary declaration in an eagerly awaited memoir to be published a month from election day: she is a passionate supporter of a woman’s right to control her own body – including the right to abortion.

    Remember when Trump looked at her ballot to see who she voted for? She’d vote for Harris if she had the chance…

    Who is going to get blamed for that "misquote" LOL

    Who did the ghostwriting for her? Has it leaked anywhere?

    Trump has been trying to change his position on choice because it’s unpopular. His logic is I already flipped the Supreme Court so now we can pretend to leave it up to the states.

    If a woman has sex with a guy and a condom wasn't used or if a woman misses her period she can get an abortion pill online without physically going to a doctor..

    To me and many others the longer a woman waits the more problematic a decision to end a pregnancy becomes

    Women talk about "their body" but at some point most realize there is also a "baby's body" involved.

    WADR, I disagree. She was spreading the Obama birther lies appx 10 years ago. And she has stuck with her vile adulterer without ever saying a word, as he spreads his expanding message of racism, division and hate. (For well over 8 years now. )

    At some point a statement needs to be made. She's complicit.

    The only book from her I might want to read is about how she made a living before meeting Donald.

    And I'm not talking about any phony modeling nonsense.

    Her writing about her support of Choice could just be one of those GOP silent whistles where the GOP male lawmaker prohibits or bans something while the wife sends out signals that she supports it.

    This is what Trump believed his whole life until he became the Republican nominee for president and he probably still believes it. He knows it is a loser position and he wishes he could change it. If nothing else Trump knows what is popular and would probably much prefer to be running on the Democratic platform but only Republicans would nominate him so he is stuck.

    Trump sure sounds pro choice lately ... "let the state's decide", "I'm voting against Florida's six week ban", "I'd veto a national ban", etc... Even Vance was like "it's a big country with different opinions so we should let states decide", and implied that he accepts the Ohio vote. That's a far cry from "killing babies is always immoral", the normal pro-life stance.

    But I agree with what Walz said, a woman's rights in America shouldn't depend on geography. I'd love hear Trump or Vance explain why, as president of the whole country, they'd agree that "killing babies" is okay in California but not Alabama. Their position makes Zero sense.

    The word you are looking for is transactional. Yes. Melania is in a transactional relationship.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/03/melania-trump-abortion-first-ladies/

    I didn’t realize this but all of the Republican First Ladies starting with Betty Ford were at some level pro-choice, although a few wouldn’t reveal that until after their husbands presidency ended.



    Among them, only Betty Ford was willing to say so publicly while in the White House. In a 1975 interview with “60 Minutes,” she called Roe “the best thing in the world” and a “great, great decision,

    Baker’s successor as chief of staff, Donald Regan, wrote in his own memoir that the first lady (Nancy Reagan) once told him, “I don’t give a damn about the right-to-lifers.”

    It was widely assumed during George H.W. Bush’s presidency that the first lady was in favor of abortion rights, but she did not make that public until the 1994 publication of her memoir, in which she wrote that while the number of abortions is “unacceptable,” the decision whether to have one should be “a personal issue — between the mother, father, and doctor.”

    Laura Bush, her daughter-in-law, dodged the question of abortion when George W. Bush was running for president in 2000, saying she wasn’t the candidate. But with the publication of her autobiography in 2010, she, too, opened up about her disagreement on the issue with her husband. “I think it’s important that it remain legal, because I think it’s important for people, for medical reasons and other reasons,” she said.
