Taking a look at Mississippi post-Roe v. Wade
SUMMARY: Following the overturning of Roe v Wade, Mississippi has seen a significant impact on women's access to abortion. Governor Tate Reeves has signed laws aimed at expanding support for pregnant women, including tax credits, safe haven baby boxes, and increased postpartum Medicaid coverage.
