ProChoiceMississippi.Org was formed as a grassroots support site for the many organizations and individuals who are fighting for women's health, comprehensive sex education, access to birth control and a woman's right to choose.  We are a diverse group of people: men, women, liberals, conservatives, professional activists, concerned citizens, mothers, families. We are persons of faith and science who believe in social justice, moral agency, and the ability of a woman to make educated, compassionate decisions regarding birth control, pregnancy and abortion. We invite you to lend your strength to this movement.

One of the reasons the pro-life movement is so strong is that their message is visceral, emotionally charged: strong stimuli provokes strong reactions in human beings. Pro-choice Mississippians should not have to speak in secret handshakes and politically correct riddles. We cannot wholly rely upon reason, data and science to support our case, because to the majority of our opponents, faith trumps all of these. We cannot tiptoe around, mutely supporting reproductive freedom. If we believe in a cause, we shouldn't be hesitant to speak about it frankly, openly, strongly. We must be willing to frankly discuss our commitment to abortion rights, unfettered access to birth control and emergency contraception, comprehensive sex education, and —importantly— that fighting for reproductive rights isn't always about fighting to have an abortion, but rather fighting for the choice itself.
