Ahhh, Mississippi, you've got a law that's essentially threatening to shut down the one clinic providing abortions to women in the state. (read the story here) Well done with your attempts to push your uber-conservative beliefs on others. This means that any poor (which is the majority of your state) or working woman would suffer an undue burden (see O'Connor's language in her dissent in Akron v. Akron Center for Reproductive Rights, 462 US 416 (1983), in her concurring in Roe v. Wade, 410 US 113 (1973), and in the plurality in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 US 833 (1992)) when seeking such medical care. Thank goodness the remaining clinic is going to fight this new law. I pray (yes, I, a person supporting a woman's right to choose appropriate medical care for herself, pray and do so on a very regular basis) that the clinic is successful and can continue protecting women's health in Mississippi. I'll be honest, you're kind of the state that scrapes the bottom of the barrel . . . maybe it's time you try a new approach to governing and life.
