SB 2391 was officially sent to Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour's desk this morning, according to the state legislative website. Please call Governor Barbour at his TOLL-FREE number, 1-877-405-0733 and ask him to veto this bill. Keep it brief: all you have to do is call and say you're a Mississippi voter, and that you oppose SB 2391 and hope the governor will veto this dangerous bill. I'd also like to personally apologize for the site's recent downtime. There were some issues, but they seem resolved now. |

(From the SaveRoe site:) Every day in America, women are forced to play the lottery when they walk into their neighborhood pharmacies and ask for Plan B emergency contraception (EC). Planned Parenthood is launching a nationwide campaign to protect women’s health by ensuring that EC is available in every neighborhood in America. We need your help! Sign up to survey a store in your neighborhood now.
This is a fantastic way to impact our Mississippi directly. Last year, some Mississippi activists went to large and small pharmacies in their neighborhoods, and the information pooled was staggering. Many pharmacists had no idea what Plan B/emergency contraception was. Some activists were even told (mistakenly) that it was "an abortion pill" and illegal. Plan B is now an over-the-counter medication, theoretically easily-purchased by adults. Still, state refusal clauses and uninformed pharmacies can make finding Plan B problematic. Help prevent unwanted pregnancies by aiding Planned Parenthood in their survey efforts, and keep your medicine cabinet stocked in case of a contraceptive emergency. |
