Mississippi Takes Center Stage as State That Triggered Actions Leading to Overturn of Roe v. Wade

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : matt.mcgregor@epochtimes.usIn the state central to where Roe V. Wade's upending began, Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch enacted the state's trigger law on June 27 that bans abortion 10 days after Fitch certified the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling.
46% : Those who are pro-life, and many legal scholars have argued that the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment providing a fundamental right to privacy, protecting a women's right to abortion, was too great a leap of interpretation.
46% :Law enforcement and escorts guide those wanting to get an abortion in and out of the parking lot of the building, where Derziz said they will continue until July 7.
45% : The Gestational Age Act was signed into law in March 2018 before JWHO filed suit against the state, challenging the constitutionality of the legislation, arguing that the law went against the court's 1973 Roe V. Wade ruling that women had a constitutional right to abortion based on the premise of the right to privacy as a constitutionally protected right.
45% : Margaret Sanger, founder of the American Birth Control League that later became Planned Parenthood, also had a controversial past, suggesting a belief in population control methods such as eugenics and race-based selection, according to historical documents.
44% : In several interviews, Johnson explained why she left Planned Parenthood.
42% : The Supreme Court ruling upheld a Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, in addition to overturning Roe.
42% : The ruling also reversed Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which argued that states couldn't impose restrictions on abortion before a fetus became viable outside the womb, though it didn't specify when viability outside the womb occurred.
34% : Abby Johnson, the former clinic director for Planned Parenthood, said in the documentary that people who work for Planned Parenthood are trained to overlook Sanger's alleged racism.
