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.”

I honestly don’t understand anything about that woman. Like, it seems like she’d state you in the eye while eating your children, but then compliment you on your wonderful family and beautiful house on the way out.

Pick a lane!

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.

Who gives a fuck what the former 3rd lady attempts to say?

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 34 points 7 hours ago

And yet, she married a rapist. Probably knowingly.
