Since Politico released the leaked draft opinion indicating the U.S. Supreme Court will likely overturn Roe v. Wade, which would end the right to abortion in the United States, the stage has been set for abortion to become illegal in Mississippi, as well as other states across the country.

Our staff will continue to provide the very latest on reproductive rights and access to abortions in Mississippi. In the meantime, we want to hear what information needs our readers have on this topic.

If the justices overturn the nearly 50-year-old precedent upholding the right to an abortion in the United States, Mississippi’s trigger law banning abortion in almost all cases would take effect soon after the ruling.

Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts on the issue of reproductive rights in Mississippi:

We continue to keep Mississippians informed because we – like you – love Mississippi.
