The only clinic performing abortions in Mississippi, the state at the heart of the US Supreme Court's historic about-face on women's reproductive rights, closed its doors Wednesday for the final time.
The Jackson Women's Health Organization, nicknamed the Pink House because of the building's colorful walls, performed its last pregnancy-ending procedures before a law banning all abortions goes into effect in the conservative, impoverished state in the US South.
'Today is a hard day for all of us @ the last abortion provider in Mississippi,' The Pink House Fund, which raised donations to keep the institution running, posted on Twitter.
'It is our last day fighting against all the odds -- of being there when no other providers would or could. We are proud of the work we have done here.'
Jackson Women's Health gained international notoriety for having triggered the legal process that eventually led to the US Supreme Court's June 24 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that had enshrined the nationwide right to abortion in the United States.
he Supreme Court ruling was in a case called Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization — the clinic's challenge of a 2018 Mississippi law to ban most abortions after 15 weeks. The Pink House had been doing abortions through 16 weeks, but under previous U.S. Supreme Court rulings, abortion was allowed to the point of fetal viability, about 24 weeks.
Mississippi's top public health official, Dr. Thomas Dobbs, was named in the lawsuit, but has not taken a public position on the case. The state's Republican attorney general urged justices to use the case to overturn Roe v. Wade and give states more power to regulate or ban abortion.

Today the clinic was open so they could close it down, and pro lifers and pro aborts almost had it out! There are several videos on the link. One could cut the tension with a knife. I thought it would turn into a Waffle House brawl at any minute.
but all the Planned Parenthood Clinics are still open though... right?
i mean, they keep telling us abortion is only a fraction of the services they provide, so they’re still open providing all the other said services... right??
no???
Another lie exposed.
Oh, woe is us. We can't legally slaughter babies any more.
All liars!
The other main service they offer at Planned Parenthood is transportation services. I hear they plan to buy out Greyhound and start a bus service.
So is abortion illegal in Mississippi now? Or is it still 16 weeks?
If still 16 weeks, WTF, they only like to murder bigger infants in the womb? The little ones without a heartbeat just doesn’t do it for them?
Here is more video if you all want to watch the fun

It ceased to be news and became an editorial.
It’s done in Mississippi
Maybe the smaller baby parts don’t sell for as much as bigger baby parts. Too much loss of revenue and they have to close.
“transportation services”
Probably transporting people to the hospital after they botch the abortions.
I hope the pro-life organizations stay focused, much more work to do, and the other side isn’t giving up.
We periodically heard stats that said X millions of babies lost since Roe v Wade. Would be great to extrapolate that going forward- X number of human lives saved.
Good point. While only a “minor” portion of their business is abortions. The rest of the business is selling dead baby tissue.
Yes, that immediately caught my eye as well.
