The revelation that Melania Trump defends a woman's right to an abortion in her upcoming memoir has stunned pro-life activists, with one saying the former first lady is wrong.

"Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body?" Trump writes in her book, Melania, U.K. newspaper The Guardian reported on Wednesday.

"Restricting a woman's right to choose whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is the same as denying her control over her own body. I have carried this belief with me throughout my entire adult life."

Newsweek has contacted Melania Trump's office for comment.
