Mississippi’s Abortion Ban Takes Hold | Jackson News

Mississippi’s last abortion clinic shut down just two weeks after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, triggering a state ban that criminalizes nearly all abortions—with only narrow exceptions. Spearheaded by Attorney General Lynn Fitch, the law reflects a broader cultural and political shift, as advocates like Kim Gibson—once a clinic escort—now flee the state, citing threats to bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom. Meanwhile, state leaders celebrate the ban as a moral victory, framing it as protection for life, while new legislation adds further barriers, including criminalizing the mailing of abortion medication without in-person visits. The fight for reproductive rights in Mississippi is far from over. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
