God forbid a woman should have the right to choose according to her own free will:

A state law that takes effect Sunday requires all of a clinic's abortion providers to be certified OB/GYN's, and all of them must have privileges at a local hospital.

"Gov. Phil Bryant signed the bill with the new requirements into law in April after the Republican-dominated legislature overwhelmingly passed it. 'It's historic. Today you see the first step in a movement, I believe, to do what we campaigned on -- to say that we're going to try to end abortion in Mississippi,' Bryant said at the bill-signing event."

"The clinic says it is trying to comply. All of its doctors are OB/GYNs who travel in from other states. But only one can practice at a local hospital. The new law states that all doctors in a clinic must have hospital privileges."

It won't end abortion in Mississippi. It will end safe abortion.

Oh well give the people what they want. The people of MS voted for the politicians who made these laws right?

Really? Given their last-place ranking in almost everything, I always figured God was using Mississippi as his personal toilet.

Well, old Miss sure proved it's the most backward state with imbecile politicians and broodsows for women.


How any SANE person can think abortions will end by legislating it away it away......mind boggling.

Nope, abortions won't end but the Anti-Women Righty slugs in will get their rocks off thinking of how they're punishing women...

Seems to me that it is Mississippi law and they have a right to make their own laws regarding abortion. If you don't like the laws there don't move there. If you are already there, the state isn't that big.... LEAVE. End of issue.
