Over the last weekend in January 2013, Jackson Women’s Health Services applied a coat of bright-pink paint to its building at the corner of\u00a0 State Street and Fondren Avenue in Jackson, Mississippi. While the\u00a0 name of the paintcolor hasn’t been publicized, it might aptly be nicknamed “Pink with a Purpose,” or “In Your Face Pink,” because Jackson Women’s Health Organization chose the color to make a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a woman\u2019s color,\u201d said clinic Owner Diane Derzis. \u201cIt\u2019s says, \u2018We\u2019re right here, and we\u2019re not going anywhere.\u2019”<\/p>\n
Jackson Women’s Health Services is the last abortion clinic in Mississippi, where the Republican-dominated state legislature and Republican Governor Phil Bryant have made it their avowed goal to make abortion impossible in their state. It’s a familiar scenario: The legislature passes, and the Governor signs, laws that put insurmountable hurdles in front of women’s health clinics that provide abortions. The main problem for Jackson Women’s Health Organization is the requirement that its doctors must have admitting privileges at a local hospital.<\/p>\n
The difference between Mississippi’s laws and those in most other states is that, in Mississippi, they’ve put every abortion clinic other than Jackson Women’s Health out of business. Before the onerous restrictions on abortion clinics went into effect, Mississippi had 14 abortion clinics.<\/p>\n
Ironically, Mississippi voters appear to have a different view of the kind of severe restrictions on abortion proposed by their legislature.\u00a0\u00a0 In November 2011, Mississippi voters defeated, by a margin of 52 to 47 percent,\u00a0 a “personhood” amendment to their state constitution. The amendment would have defined “life” as beginning at the moment of fertilization,which would have effectively made all abortions illegal.<\/p>\n
