What's Next?

I'm way past worrying about whether there is an abortion clinic available where I live in MS at my age. I would have had no need for it even in my younger years because I am pro-choice and my choice would be either to give birth or not get pregnant. But so many other women in MS have many good and reasonable reasons to have abortion services available to them. It is a travesty that the legislation recently passed here makes operation of the last clinic that provides abortion services so very difficult. It will effectively shut down the only abortion clinic left in the state of MS. Our legislators and Gov. Bryant make no secret that the main reason for the restrictions they have passed is to close the clinic and put an end to abortions in MS. (Requirements are that doctors who perform abortions must be certified Ob/Gyn with hospital privileges at a local hospital and must live within 30 minutes of that hospital.) The restrictions are not to protect the health of women who seek abortions here as the politicians would like us to believe. MS women will now have to go out of state, or give birth, or return to the "back alley" abortions that were the norm before Roe V Wade became the law of the land. MS will see more illegitimate children born to underage mothers (for which the state will pick up the tab for medical, food, housing, etc.), more deaths from botched abortions and from medical problems that arise requiring the termination of a pregnancy for the health of the mother or incest or rape. I believe these restrictions are illegal since no other clinics in MS have similar requirements. It's just another attack on women's health care here. I'm sure there are men who don't want the clinic closed either but they are not speaking up. The loudest voices against Roe V Wade come from the religious right. They have proven that they are resourceful and devious in their zeal to get around the law if they cannot overturn it. And they are now turning their attention to contraception. What's next?
