Mississippi’s last abortion clinic has dropped its lawsuit that sought to block the state from enforcing a law that bans most abortions
on Tuesday dropped its lawsuit that sought to block the state from enforcing a law that bans most abortions.
Derzis said the furniture and equipment from Jackson Women’s Health Organization have been moved to a new abortion clinic she will open soon in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The Jackson clinic is best known as the Pink House because of its bright paint job. The Mississippi trigger law, passed in 2007, says abortion is legal only if the pregnant woman’s life is in danger or if a pregnancy is caused by a rape reported to law enforcement. It does not have an exception for pregnancies caused by incest.
