Entre Hermanos Statement for: Roe v. Wade

Entre Hermanos stands for equality and human rights.  This week an opinion draft from the Supreme Court of the United States was leaked where the Court’s majority voted to overturn what has been the law of the Land for close to 50 years, Roe v. Wade.  In that seminal case, the Court ruled that the U.S. Constitution protects women’s liberty to choose to have an abortion without strict government interference.  The Court’s apparent intent is to effectively abolish the recognition of women’s right to choose. 

Here at Entre Hermanos we not only support a woman’s right to choose, but also condemn actions that limit said right.  Part of believing and advocating for equality and human rights is to back other marginalized groups in society to achieve their own potential and live freely without inequity.  Therefore, it is imperative to stand with women and their freedom to choose; not doing so – morally and factually – would contradict what we believe in. The right to choose is fundamental, abortion care is   healthcare.

It is important to note that until the Court’s opinion is published, Roe v. Wade remains valid.  Nevertheless, women’s right to choose is unquestionably under attack in our country. As a result, we call everyone to action to make our voices be heard and protect women’s rights.  As it has been quoted so many times in the past, women’s rights are human rights.
