Former first lady Melania Trump appeared to discuss her views on women's rights in a video on of the right to abortion.

In the 28-second video, Trump says: “Individual liberty is a fundamental principle that I stand for. Without question, there is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right that all women have have had since birth.”

“Individual freedom. What does my choice really mean for my body?” she added.

The Guardian reported Wednesday that Trump defended abortion rights in his memoir, scheduled for release Tuesday.

NBC News has not independently verified the Guardian report, which found Trump wrote: Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does on her own body ? A woman's fundamental right to individual freedom, to her own life, gives her the power to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes.

“Restricting a woman's right to choose whether or not to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is tantamount to denying her control over her own body. I have carried this belief with me throughout my adult life.” she continued, according to the report.

Asked Thursday about his wife's comments on abortion in an interview with Fox News, former President Donald Trump said: “We talked about it and I said, 'You have to write what you believe. I I'm not going to tell you what you believe.' do. You must write what you believe.

“She is very loved,” he said. “People love our former first lady, I can tell you that, but I said, 'You have to stay with your heart.' I told everyone: 'You have to go with your heart.'”

Contacted for comment on the former first lady's views on abortion, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung highlighted Donald Trump's remarks in the interview.

The former president repeatedly touted his role in ending the nation's abortion protections, saying he succeeded in killing Roe v. Wade.

My view is that now that we have abortion where everyone wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine it by vote or legislation, or maybe both, and what they will decide should be the law of the land, he said in April. He said this week that he would not sign a measure to ban abortion nationwide if it reached his desk as president.

Harris campaign spokeswoman Sarafina Chitika said in a statement Thursday that “unfortunately for women across America, Mrs. Trump's husband strongly disagrees with her.”

Chitika pointed out that Trump's presidency has led to restrictions and bans on abortion in many states. Vice President Kamala Harris has made reproductive care and abortion access a centerpiece of her campaign.

The comments from Melania Trump, who has been largely absent from the campaign trail, drew criticism from the anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life, which said in an article that much of what what she said was simply not correct.

The group's president, Marjorie Dannenfelser, reposted the statement, adding: American women are capable of great strength and creativity. They are naturally inclined to speak for those who are powerless. Abortion is not the source of their freedom and liberation.

The former first lady's new position also drew backlash from reproductive rights groups, who highlighted Donald Trump's record on abortion.

“This is just the latest example of politicians or politically adjacent people changing positions in rhetoric but not in action,” Alexis McGill Johnson, president of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, said Thursday.

“As president, he made it his mission to get Roe v. Wade overturned. Melania stood by him, never publicly disavowing his actions until weeks before an election where our bodies are on the ballot again and where they're losing voters because of this issue,'” she continued. “Read between the lines.

Mini Timmaraju, president of Reproductive Freedom for All, told NBC News that Melania Trump's appearance in favor of abortion rights made her angry because her statements could confuse voters who are not fully informed about the fight for the right to abortion.

If the Trump campaign was truly strategic, I suspect it might actually help confuse under-informed voters and perhaps give permission for meek Republican women conflicted over abortion to hold their noses and vote for Trump, she said. Trump's record is very clear. He overturned Roe. The contrast with Vice President Harris is clear. She has championed reproductive freedom throughout her career.”
