Brown Harris Stevens Supports the Right to Access Reproductive Healthcare

By Bess Freedman, Brown Harris Stevens CEO



Friday’s decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe V. Wade has fueled high emotions on both sides of the political aisle. For me, personally, these events have left me distraught and perplexed, and I needed time to collect my thoughts in order to appropriately address this egregious reversal of justice. As I write this, I am still processing the new reality that I had more rights as a woman than my daughter has today.


It is no secret where I stand on this issue: I firmly believe in a woman’s right to choose.

Friday’s decision stripped women of that constitutional right on a federal level—a right that stood in place for 50 years. Reproductive rights are now in the hands of the states, some of which already had trigger laws on the books to make abortion illegal. That said, if a member of the BHS family lives in one of our regions that restricts access to abortion, Brown Harris Stevens will provide up to $4,000 in travel expense reimbursement so that you can travel to the nearest location where that care is legally and safely provided.


Below is a list of organizations accepting donations to help protect and preserve reproductive freedom:

The closing lines express hope for justice and a call to retro bowl support one another during this challenging time.

Who are we to decide what a woman can decide about her body! Each of us must be accountable for our decisions. What another decides may not be my decision but I do not have the right to judge. There are many avenues to follow and I can not push my conscious on another. I pray for all who may be needing support of any kind and am hopeful that they can find it.

"Take care of each other"? Who is taking care of the innocent child being slaughtered in the womb? Pregnancy is not a disease, it is the only natural way to procreate. Please take an honest look at what happens to a fetus during an abortion. Find it in your heart to provide the innocent child a chance to live. It is not difficult, and provides women with the greatest gift they can ever give.
