Anti-choice activists try to shut down Mississippi’s last clinic

Cause god forbid women have one goddamn place left to exercise their legal right to choose.
Anti-choice activists are attempting to completely eradicate any semblance of reproductive rights in their Mississippi–they are trying to shut down the state’s last women’s health clinic that provides abortions.

The Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which treats more than 3,000 women a year statewide, said a setback would not mean defeat and may only put the issue back in front of a judge. The clinic, which is still operating, risks having to scale back the kinds of abortion it can perform.
“We have no intention of leaving and we intend to continue to provide the services that we’re providing,” said Susan Hill, president of the North Carolina-based National Women’s Health Organization. “It won’t be easy, but we’re staying.”

The clinic is waiting to heart if the Department of Health has granted them new certification; in the meantime anti-choice groups have been doing their best to make sure that doesn’t happen.
