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.
“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,” the Republican nominee’s wife writes, amid a campaign in which Donald Trump’s threats to women’s reproductive rights have played a central role.
“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 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.”
Lol what a 3 page memoir? Born, pretty, modeling, meets rich old man, marries him and rich forever. What a life
You are missing her major in sociology from Princeton, her degree from Harvard law school, her time as the assistant to the mayor of Chicago and her role as associate dean of student services at the University of Chicago.
He’s kidding, wikipedia says she has a few months towards an architecture degree
Oh Donald, they’re playing your wedding song…
Remember when she wore a jacket with the words “I really don’t care. Do U?” when visiting a migrant child detention facility in Texas?
Do you really think she chose that shirt specifically to signal her disregard for those children, despite knowing exactly how the media would react? Or perhaps it was just an unfortunate coincidence? Does everyone close to Donald need to be equally terrible?
For all I know, while Donald was threatening North Korea with nuclear holocaust, Melania was campaigning against online bullying. She seems quite reasonable person to me.
At very minimum, if you assume it’s an innocent mistake, wearing that jacket in that context shows shockingly bad judgment. But she had handlers that surely would’ve noticed this and advised her to change. So that means she wore it intentionally with complete disregard for the context. It shows she’s a cold and cruel person, which isn’t a surprise but does mean that she’s not the reasonable person you think she is.
The jacket makes a pretty shitty statement on the face of it, no matter how you could present it, and the message is completely wrong to wear to a children’s detention facility. I honestly believe she didn’t think about any aspect of it except as a fashion statement, which is a good indication she shouldn’t be a public representative.
She claims the jacket was worn as a message to the “fake news media.”
I actually have more respect for her now than in 2016, and it’s not cause of this headline.
She honestly stayed out of things waaay more than I thought, still a shitty person but better than ivanka.
You see, Melania, unlike most women that haven’t whored themselves out to a mushroom dicked mango with more money than brains, you can choose where you want to live at will, and even if that place doesn’t let you do what you want, you could be on a private jet to anywhere else that would.
You ridiculous clown.
