Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization
Abortion in Mississippi
Now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, Mississippi is enforcing its trigger ban, which prohibits abortion in nearly all situations.
On June 27, 2022, the Mississippi Attorney General certified the state’s trigger ban, which bans all abortions except to save the life of the pregnant person, or in cases of rape or incest that have been reported to law enforcement, following the U.S. Supreme Courts decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. After being challenged in court, the trigger ban is currently in effect.
