Last abortion clinic in Mississippi could close Posted by Staff
The Jackson Women’s Health Organization (JHWO), the last remaining abortion clinic in Mississippi, failed to meet a Friday deadline for compliance with a new law that requires abortionists to maintain local hospital privileges.
In a brief filed Friday in response to the JWHO request for a preliminary injunction further barring enforcement of the law, the State of Mississippi reiterated that the law was meant to protect women from abandonment by itinerant abortionists.
