Jackson Women’s Health Organization will lock its doors after the close of business on Wednesday evening following a trial judge’s refusal to block Mississippi’s trigger law from taking effect.
“Without any further action, today will be the last day that Jackson Women’s Health can provide abortion care,” said Hillary Schneller, a senior staff attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights who represents the clinic. “That means the last abortion provider in Mississippi will no longer be able to provide essential care to both folks in Mississippi and folks who’ve been traveling across multiple state lines to access this essential care before it’s too late.
Robert McDuff, another attorney for the clinic, said that the legal team is considering next steps, including a possible appeal in the coming days, but the clinic will not be able to continue offering services while the case winds its way through the courts.Mississippi’s trigger law was passed in 2007, whenstill secured federal protections for abortion access.
