Meghan Markle opens up about miscarriage, motherhood and more in an interview following the recent Roe v. Wade reversal.
. “The more that we normalize conversation about the things that affect our lives and bodies, the more people are going to understand how necessary it is to have protections in place.”“This is about women’s physical safety," she continued."It’s also about economic justice, individual autonomy, and who we are as a society. Nobody should be forced to make a decision they do not want to make, or is unsafe, or puts their own life in jeopardy.
"Frankly, whether it’s a woman being put in an unthinkable situation, a woman not ready to start a family, or even a couple who deserve to plan their family in a way that makes the most sense for them, it’s about having a choice." She told Steinem that"men need to be vocal in this moment," noting that she's discussed the topic with Prince Harry, who had a"guttural" reaction to the Supreme Court’s ruling."I can testify to that since I met him before I met you," the 88-year-old replied."He was at a big meeting I attended, and he was advocating for people’s rights."
As for ensuring those rights going forward, the duchess added,"This moment requires unity — really listening to people, understanding the Constitution was written at a time when women were second-class citizens. We’re not. Certain things need to change."
