The"Pink House" is the only clinic in Mississippi that provides abortion services. It will continue to do so until a 2007 trigger law takes effect.The only abortion clinic in Mississippi is preparing to close it's doors following a landmark decision from the Supreme Court which overturns Roe v. Wade.
Following the release of the opinion, anti-abortion rights activists returned to the street outside of the Jackson Women's Health Organization to protest. They held signs with graphic images of fetuses, attempted to block cars entering the clinic parking lot, and stood on ladders to harass patients walking into the facility. Meanwhile, volunteers with the Pink House Defenders hurried to help ensure the roads were clear for patients and held signs that the clinic was still open.
Until the clinic ceases operation, Derzis says they will continue to offer abortion services, as well as tend to the other health needs for which many people use the clinic. After it closes, the clinic will be relocated to New Mexico. And advocates for abortion rights say they will begin to invest in ways to help Mississippians get out of state abortion care.
