Last Abortion Clinic In Mississippi May Close

"Mississippi's latest attempt to close its sole abortion clinic has been challenged as unconstitutional in an 11th hour legal challenge filed in a federal court on Wednesday. The challenge, by the Center for Reproductive Rights (CRR), argues that the state law will threaten the health of women in Mississippi and deprive them of their constitutionally protected right to decide when and whether to have children. The law, which was passed in April and is due to come into effect on Sunday, requires doctors who perform the procedure to have admitting privileges at a local hospital in addition to being certified obstetricians and gynecologists...".* Ana Kasparian and Desi Doyen discuss on The Young Turks.

What makes Americans this stupid ? In a word, RELIGION. Yes, Religion has long been the great divider, a catalyst of disagreements that lead to war. Religion is the worst thing humanity has ever known.

[Torgny Elmerot]

It´s interesting for a non-american to see what kind of political climate there is in some states in the u.s. Strong right-wing lobbyist groups feed their message to an rather uneducated mass of people. I don´t think that the "land of the free" really wants religious legislation. Keep up your liberal ideals instead, and don´t sink any deeper.

Mississippi is a shithole. Kick 'em outta the Union.

The matter of abortion doesnt involve religious perspectives and it shouldnt..with that said..I do not support abortion 100% and im not religious at all.

I just see it as a baby..

[Michael X]

fuck people that abort their babies PIECE OF SHIT HEADS!!!!

[Dan Mac]

A baby is something that was born at some point, a fetus is not.

They also offer birth control, which these people are against and which does not involve abortion at all.

They have to be certified gynecologists with hospital admitting privileges. Oh, horrors! I've been a nurse for a long time and frankly if that is considered to be unreasonable, then those who are not in states that require such basic safety considerations are clearly at the mercy of potential hatchet jobs. Do you really want that?

[David Sarchet]

Lets reduce teen pregnancies by killing babies! WTF???
