Just a reminder that this newsletter is more and more important to keep us up to date on abortion. I noticed today that the Washington Posts’ last story was a month ago, according to their website.
"(f) "Minor girl" means a female resident of the State of Mississippi under the age of eighteen (18) years who is not emancipated."
The idea, I guess is that minors should not be able to make their own decisions regarding abortion. It also mentions,
"SECTION 7. (1) This act may not be construed as creating or recognizing a right to abortion."
So a parent might actually support the decision to an abortion, but it really follows, that if they didn't, the minor girl would probably not share her condition with her parents. And so this bill enforces controls for parents over their minors in this decision.
But it also follows that if the minor girl wished to bear children, something that would be imposed on her parents and also put her at risk, really being to young to healthily have children. And these people would not suggest that these parents should have the right to impose an abortion on their teen.
I find it uplifting to know that so many families and young women are moving to pro-choice states! I really would like to know whether teenage girls are also deciding not to go to red states for college. I think we all need to boycott states that have bans. Stop going there for vacations. Make their economy suffer. Also, I'd like to know why so many republicans hate women.
Godawful creeps doing more and more horrible things to suppress the rights of women and girls. It’s Orwellian on steroids— thank you Jessica for your excellent work
As a Floridian,I can honestly say that nothing surprises me anymore.Actually helps to preserve my sanity!
DeSantis vetoed $$ for long-term,reversible contraception for low-income woman at the request of the Florida Catholic Conference… and that was in ‘21 and 22’.
Florida had its first migration decline in a decade.Also,our state university system has THE lowest average yearly in-state tuition
And the probability of those priests also being abusers is...? (My guess is that the overlap would be a circle, or close to one.) As mentioned elsewhere, these types don't think consent is a thing.

In the Mississippi bill the term "teen" is not used. The language is pretty precise,

Conservative Christianity teaches them to hate women. They are steeped in misogyny from childhood.

Priests for Life awarding these men for their work in harming women. What a sick, twisted joke.

Forced Birther priests from hell, more like.

That’s probably why they are so sanctimonious about women, trying to win holy brownie points to distract from their sins.
