What to Make of Melania Trump's Galling Abortion Rights Reveal

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

72% : If Trump can narrow that gap even a little bit between now and Nov. 5, it could propel him to victory in a super close race.
45% : In late September, NBC News found a 33-point gender gap: Trump is winning men by 12 points (52 percent to 40 percent), while Harris is winning women by 21 points (58 percent to 37 percent).
45% : She's banking money, as is Trump, who is selling everything from sneakers to NFTs to Bibles to watches to a coffee-table photo book.
40% : As law professor Mary Ziegler wrote for Slate in August, "Trump has spent the election season giving muddy answers in the hope of keeping anti-abortion voters close without alienating everyone else."
40% : She reportedly renegotiated her prenup with Trump during his first term and was, strangely, paid more than $200,000 for appearing at a recent event for the Log Cabin Republicans, a conservative LGBTQ+ group.
34% : "She even writes about abortions occurring later in pregnancy, which Trump has demonized, going so far as to accuse doctors who perform these procedures of infanticide.
28% : Melania acknowledges that she and Trump do have different political views, but she hasn't openly shared them to date.
28% : And in some sense, flinging a bunch of contradictory abortion information at voters means that people can choose to believe what they want about Trump and his running mate.
25% : Earlier this week, Trump claimed he'd veto a national ban after twice refusing to do so during the September debate.
24% : Trump might veto a total abortion ban, but what about one at 15 or 20 weeks?
24% : Women voters especially don't trust Trump, which is why this book revelation feels less like the truth and more like a strategist's attempt to reduce the staggering gender gap between him and Harris.
24% : In that way, it's notable that Melania's book is coming out days after Trump said he'd veto a ban.
21% : Another explanation for this whole saga is that Melania is simply trying to cash in on the chance that Trump loses and she has less cultural capital.
