Former first lady Melania Trump reveals in her memoir that she supports abortion and a woman's right to choose, saying the decision should be "free from any intervention or pressure from the government" - a stance in stark contrast to policies now in place in many states after her husband's Supreme Court picks helped overturn of Roe V. Wade.

"Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body? ," she writes in the memoir, "Melania," according to a copy of the book obtained by the Guardian.
