Former friend alleges Ivanka Trump had abortion when younger

A former friend of Ivanka Trump has taken to social media to claim that she supported her in getting an abortion when she was younger.

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.”

It came amid the shocking news of the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, eliminating American women’s constitutional right for abortion.

Abortion rights will now be determined by individual states.

However, many people were left fuming over the post, saying it was not appropriate.

Instagram user Becky wrote: “This is where I draw my line. Yeah it’s sh**ty she’s being quiet and she is ’unequivocally pro life now.”

“This goes beyond holding someone accountable. This is a pretty disgusting post.”

While fellow user Lauren wrote: “I’m furious about what has happened and I can’t stand the Trumps however, this post is not OK.”

Ivanka Trump has previously declared that she is “pro-life”, telling US media company RealClearPolitics about her stance on abortion back in 2020.

“I respect all sides of a very personal and sensitive discussion,” she said.

“But I am also a mother of three children, and parenthood affected me in a profound way in terms of how I think about these things.

“I am pro-life, and unapologetically so.”
