On June 24, 2022 the Supreme Court issued a shameful ruling overturning Roe v. Wade — the landmark decision recognizing the constitutional right to abortion nearly 50 years ago.
As of July 6, 2022, abortion is illegal in Mississippi in all cases except where the mother’s life is in danger or a rape that’s been reported to law enforcement. Anyone performing or attempting to perform an abortion can be charged with a felony offense and up to ten years in prison.
