A bill passed by Mississippi lawmakers putting new restrictions on doctors performing abortions moves the state one step closer to becoming “abortion free.”Read the rest here.
There is only one abortion clinic in the state, and the owner, Diane Derzis, has said the bill’s requirements could force it to shut down.
“It looks dire for them,” said Leola Reif, vice president for external affairs for Planned Parenthood Southeast.
The bill, which passed the state Senate on Wednesday, would require doctors performing abortions to be board-certified OB-GYNs and to have admitting privileges at a local hospital in case a woman undergoing an abortion needs to be immediately hospitalized. The House previously passed the bill, and after a comment period it goes to Republican Gov. Phil Bryant for his expected signature.

Is there any problem with this? Really? You want someone off the street in charge of killing your baby for you? Or someone who's been trained to do it in medical school? I took care of quite of few women on my floor, admitted from the ER after a botched abortion from some yahoo.
[I'm not even addressing the whole "should there even be elective abortions" question.]
Praise be to God!
Not truly "abortion free" as abortions are still performed in many hospitals.
