She writes that women should have control over their own body, the report said.
In this Nov. 24, 2020, file photo, First Lady Melania Trump attends the traditional 'pardoning' of the national Thanksgiving Turkey in the Rose Garden at the White House in Washington, D.C., is criticizing restrictions on reproductive rights, including limits on abortion, in her new memoir, "Melania," according to a new report.
"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," she reportedly says in the pages of "Melania." Purported excerpts of Melania Trump's forthcoming book were published by the Guardian Wednesday but not independently verified by ABC News. A spokesperson for Melania Trump and the Trump campaign have not responded to requests from ABC News."It is important to note that historically, most abortions conducted during the later stages of pregnancy were the result of severe fetal abnormalities that probably would have led to the death or stillbirth of the child.
"When confronted with an unexpected pregnancy, young women frequently experience feelings of isolation and significant stress. I, like most Americans, am in favor of the requirement that juveniles obtain parental consent before undergoing an abortion. I realize this may not always be possible. Our next generation must be provided with knowledge, security, safety, and solace, and the cultural stigma associated with abortion must be lifted," the former first lady reportedly writes.
Abortion remains a top issue for voters -- especially women -- in the upcoming election. Both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are working to connect with voters on the topic in what's expected to be a close contest in November.
