Social Media Reacts To Melania Trump’s ‘My Body, My Choice’ Video

Former first lady Melania Trump’s decision to advocate for abortion rights in her new memoir is definitely making an impact on social media.
In her upcoming book, “Melania,” the former first lady says it’s “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 book will be published Oct. 8, but on Thursday, she continued her abortion advocacy with a short social media ad where she claims that “individual freedom is a fundamental principal that I safeguard.”
She also insists “there is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right that all women possess from birth … What does ‘my body, my choice’ really mean?”

Considering her husband, former President Donald Trump, once said that women should face punishment for having abortions if they become illegal, her video ad attracted lots of attention.
And, yes, people had thoughts. Lots of thoughts.
Some people wondered if she was actually doing campaign ads for Vice President Kamala Harris.

This is the former first lady is arguing that her husband has taken away an “essential right.” She says you shouldn’t compromise on this. She’s clearly saying don’t vote for my husband!

Melania for Kamala https://t.co/mXSJ3l6rNq
I was waiting for…..“I’m Donald Trump, and I approve this message to attempt to have it both ways.”
Some people thought her pro-choice statement was too little, too late.
I’ve heard a lot of takes on Melania’s “October Surprise” pro-abortion reveal: She’s being insincere and strategic vs. she’s now being her true self, which means divorce is imminent. Ultimately, I don’t care, because whatever she has to say, she’s years too late. She has no…
Your husband literally had Roe v. Wade overturned so that the bodies of women could, in fact, be controlled.And you publicly said…nothing.Now, you are grifting with a book.Very convenient.
Bullshit.You think we’re stupid, right?“Well, his wife is pro-choice, so…”Nope.Your husband overturned Roe and said there should be punishment for women who have abortions.You never said a damn word.We see you BeBesting Birther.We see you.
And some anti-abortion commenters felt betrayed by her support of abortion rights.
Go back to your own country. We don’t want baby murderers here.
Very disappointed in your radical pro-abortion stance, with no regard for the rights and dignity of the child. Not only is it morally wrong, your husband will lose pro-life support if you push this.
Sorry Melania your pro choice positions in immoral. What about the unborn child? They have no rights according to your position. Murder is murder and abortion is murder!
