“In 2018, we had three Mississippi lawmakers introduce identical 15-week abortion bans.”
So just a few weeks after they explained this plan, the bills they wrote are introduced in Mississippi by these lawmakers. Within two months, Gov. Phil Bryant was signing the 15-week abortion ban into law, and I believe that same day, Jackson Women’s Health Organization filed a lawsuit.
The next few days are going to be critical in Mississippi. The Mississippi attorney general certified the state’s “trigger law” earlier this week, meaning abortions are supposed to be banned within 10 days. But Jackson Women’s Health has sued to stop the law from taking effect. So in Mississippi, abortion is still being argued about in court.
Looking at the language of the trigger law, something I couldn’t quite figure out is whether abortion pills will still be legal in Mississippi,. It seems clear to me that they shouldn’t be illegal, but then I’m also seeing quotes from activists like this woman, Michelle cologne, who you’ve spent a lot of time with over the years, she’s a clinic defender. And she basically said, We’re gonna be giving out the abortion pill, right under people’s noses. Like we are not going away.
