And yet 30% of children in Mississippi live in poverty. Republicans don’t want women to have control of their own reproductive systems, but care nothing for the fate of the children once they are born. Republican Logic 101. Imagine that!

“a provision of law is invalid, if its purpose or effect is to place a substantial obstacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion before the fetus attains viability.” Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey 505 U.S. 833, 837 (1992)
Assuming that banning an abortion constitutes a substantial obstacle to obtaining an abortion, Mississippi is going to have to either (a) establish that a fetus is viable 15 weeks after a woman’s previous menstrual period, or (b) convince five justices that we should take a big step toward converting the US into a fundamentalist Xtian theocracy.

In addition, 810,000 people in Mississippi, 37.5%
of the adult population, have prediabetes with

high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes.
