ACLU of Mississippi responds to Senate passage of HB 1510

The ACLU of Mississippi has released a response after Mississippi senators voted 35-14 to pass House Bill 1510 that would ban abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
The statement reads in part “The ACLU is disappointed that the Mississippi State Senate chose to put policy ahead of a woman’s choice about her reproductive health.” It then goes on to say “If HB 1510 becomes law, it will end up at the center of a legal battle, wasting tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars in general fees.” Adding that HB 1510 will seriously harm low-income women, women of color, and young women.
