Move further restricts abortion in a state already with some of the strictest laws in U.S. and only one clinic

Jackson Women's Health Organization clinic escorts brave an early afternoon rain as they look for abortion opponents that protest daily at Mississippi's only state licensed abortion facility, Monday, March 23, 2020.Mississippi Republican Gov. Tate Reeves signed a law Wednesday that bans abortion based on the race, sex or genetic anomalies of a fetus, adding new limits in a state that already has some of the strictest abortion laws in the U.S.

With the addition of conservative justices to the U.S. Supreme Court, several states have enacted abortion restrictions in recent years. Some laws are aimed at spurring court challenges seeking to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion nationwide. The new Mississippi law that bans certain reasons for abortion took effect as soon as the governor signed the bill. It sets a prison sentence of up to 10 years for any physician or other health care worker who knowingly violates the ban. It specifies that the woman getting the abortion would not be punished, and the ban does not apply if the woman faces a medical emergency because of the pregnancy.

Stupid. Women should have the right to choose whether to keep the pregnancy or abort. Certainly there should be a window where this decision can be made.

I'm glad more States are banning abortions. babysrighttochoose

So men can’t get abortions!!!

Exception for mistresses of Republican politicians remains of course.
