Plans announced for a Right to Contraception Act to be filed in Mississippi’s 2024 legislative session
SUMMARY: Access to abortion in Mississippi is currently restricted with only a few exceptions, leading to concerns about further limitations on women's reproductive decisions. Justice Clarence Thomas has argued for a reconsideration of past court rulings supporting access to contraception. Nonprofit organization Converge emphasizes the importance of contraception for reproductive health care. Representative Zakiya Summers plans to introduce a Right to Contraception Act to protect contraceptive access. Senator Joey Fillingane believes that there will be no attempts to block traditional birth control methods. The specifics of the proposed bill and whether emergency contraceptives will be included are still unknown.
