Ivanka Trump’s Former Friend Claims Ivanka Had an Abortion in High School
On Friday, we heard Donald Trump take credit for the Supreme Court ruling, saying that others had always talked about it but he is the one that got it done. MANY people speculated on how many abortions Trump may have paid for, others speculated on whether Trump would arrange for them but not pay. Regardless, Trump did “celebrate” the victory despite a past that many question.
Don Junior celebrated and mocked Democrats all day Friday. In fact, Junior went so far as to humiliate his entire family by implying that it was President Obama making fun of Donald Trump that made Trump want to run for president in 2016, which resulted in the ruling. In other words, as Junior said, “F*ck around with Donald Trump (meaning make a joke) and find out” (Women lose their right to privacy.)
But we didn’t hear anything from Ivanka, did we? Maybe Ivanka, being a woman of childbearing age, doesn’t feel the “victory” part of it quite as much as the men? Maybe Ivanka always knew she needed that option as a young girl? Maybe Ivanka even had an abortion? We do not know. We don’t have any facts that have been confirmed. What we can confirm is that one of Ivanka’s old friends is alleging that Ivanka had an abortion in high school. According to News.com:
In the since-deleted tweet, Lauren Santo Domingo, a high school friend of Ivanka’s, claimed to have taken Ivanka, first daughter of former President Donald Trump and former senior White House Adviser, to get the alleged abortion.
The 46-year-old businesswoman and socialite also called out Ivanka for staying silent on abortion rights.

“Ivanka Trump you are noticeably quiet today,” Domingo’s tweet read.
“The high school friends who took you to get an abortion are not.”
Now, everyone needs to be very very careful about what they take away from the tweet. First, it was deleted near immediately, which is exactly what an angry woman would do if – in extreme anger at the Trump family and Ivanka, for being part of the Trump family – one wanted to stir up shit, but then realized that she could be sued because she was making it up as some sort of revenge.
On the other hand, it could be true. Many school girls who are not equipped to care for a baby have exercised their right to control their bodies over the years, as is appropriate. And even if Ivanka did have an abortion, it wouldn’t necessarily be something she should be ashamed about, except that it is deeply private (thus the right to privacy), deeply personal, but more problematic from a political view, deeply, deeply, cynical and hypocritical. “Fine for me, not for thee.”
Do we know if Ivanka had an abortion? No, obviously. Is it possible? Yes, obviously, just like any other woman who made a private decision. We only know that it would be incredibly hypocritical for Ivanka to take advantage of the abortion ruling in a political sense, now that she’s a married woman who can afford anything, but took advantage of that right when things weren’t so perfect.
Interesting questions.
Quite a few on Twitter had some thoughts:

Ivanka isn’t being shamed for having an abortion, she’s being outed as a hypocrite. Plus, she’s an asshole. Stop wasting empathy on your enemies.

Does ANYBODY believe for a single second that Melania, Ivanka, or Tiffany has NEVER had an abortion, or that Donald, DonJr, or Eric has NEVER impregnated someone who then aborted that pregnancy?
Anybody?

Ivanka Trump had at least one abortion. And that’s fine. Except her dad took away that right from literally everyone else. So that’s extremely fucked up.

My tweet isn’t about shaming Ivanka it’s about illustrating the depth of abortion reaches. Pregnancy from men can happen to every single woman, and every single woman deserves the right to make decisions about it. Thanks Lauren Santo Domingo for sharing. #AbortionIsHealthcare https://t.co/gsoSLatjn5

If @IvankaTrump said "I'm grateful for my abortion and the life it gave me. I think all women should be empowered to make the same healthcare decision I made and regret my involvement in an administration that set women back." that would be start!
