Melania Trump has revealed her support for abortion rights ahead of the release of her memoir, exposing a stark contrast with her husband on the crucial election issue.

In a video posted to her X account on Thursday morning, the former first lady defended women’s “individual freedoms” to do what they want with their body — a position at odds with much of the Republican Party and husband Donald, who has struggled to find a consistent message on abortion.
