Trump's Response To Melania's Abortion Stance Has Critics Saying Same Damning Thing

The former president's "I'm not going to tell you what to do" admission drew backlash on social media.

Donald Trump on Thursday addressed his wife Melania Trump’s apparent pro-choice stance on abortion by claiming that he’d told her, “I’m not going to tell you what to do.”

The comment drew ire on social media, however, as critics suggested the former president and current GOP nominee is trying to tell other women exactly what to do with their own bodies via his role in overturning Roe v. Wade which has led to the banning of or restriction to abortions in multiple states.

“Oh, so Melanie gets to choose but not millions of other women. Got it,” journalist Jemele Hill wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Many other commenters said the same thing. See their comments below.

Melania Trump wrote in her upcoming memoir “Melania” that 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.”

“Restricting a woman’s right to choose whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is the same as denying her control over her own body” which is a belief she’s held “throughout my entire adult life,” she said.
