Hollywood stars have raised their voices in opposition to the recent decision by the US Supreme Court to invalidate the right to abortion.
Many celebrities have taken to their social media platforms to express their disapproval of the ruling.
Fans eagerly awaiting a response from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on the matter have been left wanting, as the royal couple has chosen to remain silent.
During a recent interview, the Duchess of Sussex addressed the shocking decision made by the majority of justices on the Supreme Court, which overturned the landmark 1973 ruling that established abortion as a constitutional right nationwide.
In the company of feminist icon Gloria Steinem, Meghan shared her astonishment at the ruling and discussed her future course of action.
She also shed light on Prince Harry’s reaction to the news and the private discussions they had regarding the ruling.
In a candid conversation with Vogue, Meghan emphasized the importance of men supporting reproductive rights, revealing that she and her husband have engaged in extensive discussions on the topic.
Gloria Steinem affirmed Prince Harry’s dedication to advocating for women’s and people’s rights, underscoring his commitment to the cause.
Meghan detailed how Prince Harry’s response mirrored her own visceral reaction to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, acknowledging the prevailing sense of despair among women and emphasizing the need for unity and action.
Meghan has previously lauded her husband as a feminist, highlighting his progressive views on gender equality.
During a prior discussion with Gloria Steinem in 2020, the Duchess praised Prince Harry for embodying qualities of masculinity while championing feminist ideals.
She expressed gratitude for Archie Harrison being raised by a father who is unapologetically supportive of gender equality as part of his identity.
Following their initial public dialogue in 2020, where they urged people to register to vote, Meghan and Gloria Steinem have forged a close friendship centered around advancing women’s rights.
The duo has been strategizing on ways to advocate for the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which aims to ensure equal legal rights for all Americans irrespective of gender.
In their recent joint interview, Meghan voiced concerns about the potential repercussions of the abortion ruling, particularly in light of Justice Clarence Thomas hinting at revisiting issues such as contraception access and same-s** marriage.
When asked about the possibility of further reversals in rights by the Supreme Court and the implications for marginalized groups, Meghan expressed apprehension based on Justice Thomas’ remarks.
She highlighted the need for vigilance in safeguarding hard-won rights in the face of evolving judicial interpretations.
