You can help Mississippi's women. It's down to the wire for CHOICE in MS!

[Maddy McCall]

There are six Mississippi legislators who are in negotiations over the bill to outlaw abortion in Mississippi. They need to hear from you, because they are attempting to reach a compromise.

Assure them that there is definitely a silent majority in the South that won't speak up in support of CHOICE because of fear of ostracism and retribution.

Here's a snippet from an article printed today in Mississippi's largest daily paper:

LAWMAKERS MULLING ABORTION

Legislative negotiations on an abortion ban began Monday.

Roughly 40 people from both sides of the abortion debate sat quietly as Senate Public Health and Welfare Chairman Alan Nunnelee, R-Tupelo, (who proposed the bill outlawing abortion} outlined his requests for the bill that included prohibiting the morning-after pill.

Representatives said little as they listened. The committee likely will meet again today.

"We're going to take a kind of methodical approach to this," said House Public Health and Human Services Chairman Steve Holland, D-Plantersville. "I'm in no hurry on this issue at all."

Senate Bill 2922 bans abortion except in cases of rape, incest and a threat to the woman's health.

Lawmakers have until Monday to reach a compromise. The session ends on April 2.
