Legislative Black Caucus unveils Right to Contraception proposal
SUMMARY: Community members in Mississippi gathered to unveil legislation called the Mississippi Right to Protection Act, aimed at safeguarding residents' rights to contraception. Legislative Black Caucus Chairman Chris Bell and Jackson Representative Zakiya Summers announced their plan to file the bill in January during the upcoming session. The bill aims to protect and preserve Mississippians' access to contraception methods such as condoms, the pill, and IUDs. The authors of the bill cite the failure of Congress to pass the Federal “Right to Contraception Act” in previous years. They believe that contraception is crucial for family stability and ensuring parents can provide necessary care for their children. Additionally, the authors plan to launch a statewide advertising campaign to promote the bill.
