Hoyer Statement on the Anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Decision
WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer released the following statement today on the forty-third anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision:
"Today marks the forty-third anniversary of the Supreme Court's historic decision affirming the fundamental right of every woman to individual privacy and to make her reproductive health choices. Roe v. Wade was a milestone in the steady march forward for women's equality, and I am proud to have stood with women's rights groups and women's health advocates in defense of these established constitutional protections throughout my time in Congress. As we celebrate this anniversary, I remain committed to working to ensure access to reproductive health services nationwide and will continue to oppose Republican efforts to undermine the constitutional rights of women affirmed by this decision, including their creation of a partisan select panel to attack women’s health.”
