00:00Donald Trump has commented on his wife Melania's reported support for abortion rights.
00:04We spoke about it and I said you have to write what you believe. I'm not going to tell you what
00:10to do. The former president spoke with Fox News' Bill Malugin Thursday. There are some people that
00:15are very, very far right on the issue, meaning without exceptions, and then there are other
00:20people that view it a little bit differently than that. The Guardian has reported that Mrs.
00:24Trump addresses abortion in the memoir she's releasing next week. She wrote,
00:28it is imperative to guarantee that women have autonomy in deciding their preference of having
00:32children based on their own convictions, free from any intervention or pressure from the government.
00:37She also appeared to address the issue in a video posted to X Thursday.
00:41Without a doubt, there is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right
00:47that all women possess from birth. Mr. Trump's Supreme Court appointments created the conservative
00:53majority that struck down Roe v. Wade in 2022, and he has continued to express pride in that
00:58achievement. But he has also recently attempted to stake out a more moderate position on the issue,
01:02promising to veto any federal abortion ban if elected.
