Summary: This article discusses the new laws passed by the Mississippi governor that put more restraints on abortion. The governor is quoted discussing his personal beliefs that every life has value. He also expressed his hopes that the state would be "abortion free." By creating these laws, he is basically just making it harder to get an abortion, requiring it to be administered by an OB/GYN. In 1973, the Supreme Court ordered that abortion be legal in all fifty states, but now we continue to backtrack thanks to states like Mississippi. The state has only one abortion clinic, and it's in danger of closing. The Mississippi government is just finding shifty ways to get around the legality of abortion, by technically keeping it legal but making it virtually impossible to go through with.
Newsworthy: This is newsworthy because it shows the loopholes that politicians can take and makes the citizens aware of how unconstitutional these loopholes can seem to be.
Alternate Headline: Banning Abortion in Miss...Kinda?
Question: What will happen to challenge this bill?
