(Reuters) – Melania Trump writes in her upcoming memoir that a woman has the right to an abortion, The Guardian newspaper reported on Wednesday, while her husband, Donald Trump, backs the right of U.S. states to restrict the procedure.

“Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body?” Melania Trump writes in her memoir that is due to be published four weeks before the Nov. 5 election, in which her husband faces Democrat Kamala Harris.

Donald Trump, a Republican, backs exceptions for rape, incest and to protect the mother’s life.
