I’m conflicted, on the one hand I think they are incentivizing single motherhood, as if it wasn’t incentivized enough, but on the other I’m glad kids won’t be left to the wolves

Governor Reeves-- “The Pro-Life Movement must dedicate itself to ensuring mothers and their babies receive the support they both need during pregnancy and after. Mississippi’s objective was never simply to win a court case, it’s been to create a culture of life across the country.”

“our state seeks to be pro-life in every sense of the word, supporting mothers and children through policies of compassion and working to ensure that every baby has a forever family that loves them. Mississippi will work relentlessly to accomplish these goals and will continue to build a culture that supports mothers and children, valuing the inherent dignity of every individual. This is our new Pro-Life agenda.”

Attorney General Fitch— the task now falls to us to advocate for laws that empower women and to renew our commitment to promoting a strong environment to raise children in Mississippi.”

“This is about more than the fundamentals about prenatal vitamins and diapers. It’s about helping to connect them to opportunities for education and job training to support them and their families. Always, it’s about love and respect for them through whatever struggles they face. This is what it means to both empower women and promote life. I am grateful to the court for this opportunity.”

Speaker Gunn— “With love for children and the women who bear them, we move forward to secure strong and lasting legal protections and cultural support for life, and a vibrant network of abortion alternatives.”

As he explained on social media, the Life legislation will address: more effective and well-funded child protection and foster care, more available and affordable adoption, and next-generation child support enforcement to hold fathers accountable


There are just over 3,000 abortions performed in MS per year, also a significant number of women travel out of state for their abortions.

Thoughts?

Playing devils advocate here:

Why don’t folks adopt one of the 100k plus children eligible now because the policies seem aimed at facilitating adoption?

What about fathers who want to opt of parenthood at a reasonable time rather than get gutted by “next generation child support enforcement”? Esp since contraceptives can fail.

Same as above, how’s MS viewing birth control, plan b, etc? (Because I have no Fkn clue)

Is MS going to subsidize child care so single baby mommas can work these jobs the state wants to train them for?

What about them obesity and education numbers because MS pretty much has the stupidest, fattest kunts in the country?

I don't have an answer to a lot of that but I know MS has always subsidized child care, they even go so far as to pay relatives to babysit in home.

I'm sure the obesity and education numbers are only going to get worse, because normally when Mississippi doesn't need to be Mississippi it changes course and Mississippi-ies so hard its makes the entire US cringe, so my point is we're just going to **** this up too...

Mississippi is the Cleveland Browns of football huehue.

I believe most women seeking abortion will go out of state to do it.

Also, I believe churches will step up and need to step up to do more as well.

Where to though? Louisiana, Alabama and Tennessee have all banned abortions with minimal exceptions.

I’d imagine Illinois or somewhere like that. I haven’t looked into what states allow it but most of those who get abortions have family in places like Illinois and Wisconsin.

Let’s also be honest. As much as I don’t like abortion, people will still have access to it. There will be a black market for it. It’ll be just like drugs in that sense.
