The Legislature could place on the ballot a proposal to reverse the state Supreme Court decision granting the right to an abortion. Then the citizens could decide, just as they have in six other states.
by Bobby Harrison, Mississippi Today November 27, 2022 Since the United States Supreme Court in a Mississippi case stripped away a national right to an abortion, citizens in six states, including five earlier this month, have voted to either preserve or expand abortion rights.

Jackson Women’s Health Organization – was decided in late June by the nation’s highest court.
