Hoyer Statement on Anniversary of Roe v. Wade

Statement

House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today on the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade:

"I join in marking the 40th anniversary today of the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade, which affirmed every woman's basic right to individual privacy and reproductive health choices. As Congress continues to address the issue of access to affordable health care for all Americans, I will continue to stand firm in protecting reproductive choice and initiatives that prevent unintended pregnancies through contraception and health education. I look forward to working hand-in-hand with women's health groups and women's rights advocates to stand up for the choices and privacy all American women deserve and that, according to the Court's ruling in Roe v. Wade, our Constitution guarantees."
