The revelation that Melania Trump defends a woman’s right to an abortion in her upcoming memoir has stunned pro-life advocates. One of them said the former first lady was wrong.

“Why should anyone other than women have the power to decide what they do with their own bodies?” Melania Trump writes in her book: MelaniaBritish newspaper The Guardian reported on Wednesday.

“Restricting a woman’s right 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,” she adds.

Newsweek has reached out to Melania Trump’s office for comment.

“Melania Trump’s support of abortion is anti-feminist and clearly outside the teachings of our Catholic faith. She is wrong,” Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America, wrote on X, formerly Twitter, Wednesday evening.

Hawkins went on to say that abortion is “the opposite of empowerment” because women are told they can’t juggle children and a career, so they have to choose something. Christ helps us to be successful at home, at school, at work, as mothers, and even as role models.

She added: “What a missed opportunity to inspire a generation of young women. I won’t buy Melania’s book.”

The Guardian said it received a copy of the memoir ahead of its Oct. 8 publication.

Just weeks before the November 5 election, it is revealed that Melania Trump’s views on abortion do not match her husband’s.

The former first lady has rarely been seen with Republican former President Donald Trump, who is running for a second term as president.

Donald Trump has repeatedly blamed himself for the Supreme Court’s overturning of the ruling Roe v. Wadewhich ended nationwide abortion rights.

He appointed three of the justices who voted to overturn the landmark 1973 decision.

This move paved the way for states to ban or restrict the procedure – 13 states now have a complete ban on abortion and 22 ban or restrict the procedure earlier than the established standard Roe, which protected the right to abortion until the fetus is viable, generally considered 23 or 24 weeks.

Donald Trump is vying for the presidency against Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, who has made defending abortion rights a centerpiece of her campaign.

Activist Hawkins added that it was “hard to follow the logic” that Melania released the book before the election and “undermines President Trump’s message to pro-life voters.”

Clare Anne Ath, a senior policy analyst at the Human Coalition, wrote on X that she is “praying for Melania Trump to learn the truth and darkness of abortion.”

The former president’s changing views on abortion have also frustrated anti-abortion activists.

He has tried to distance himself from the anger that the Supreme Court ruling sparked Roe v. Wade was enthusiastic and noted the political consequences of Republicans taking extreme positions on the issue.

Donald Trump had previously indicated his support for a national abortion ban, but said in April that abortion rights should be left to individual states. He has advocated for exceptions in cases of rape and incest and to protect the life of the mother.

It’s because abortion was a winning issue for Democrats, and voters have sided with pro-abortion rights every time it’s been directly on the ballot since then roe‘send.

Measures to protect abortion access will go before voters in 10 states in November, including swing states Arizona and Nevada.

Polls show abortion is a top issue in the election. A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that a majority (61 percent) of Americans want to protect or improve access to it, including 34 percent of Republicans.
