Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch said Thursday that now that legal abortion is banned in the state, it must act in a special way to support women and families.
“Today, in Mississippi, for the first time in many years, the will of the people as expressed through their elected legislators, is no longer held up in a court and will go into effect,” Fitch said July 7.
“Now, we must all work together to strengthen the safety net that women need not only for healthy pregnancies, but also as they build families where both they and their children thrive.”
Following attempts by pro-abortion organizations to block the state’s trigger abortion ban, Judge Debbra Halford rejected their argument at a June 5 hearing.
