SB 2922 is likely to be even worse than it was.  They are rewriting the bill in an attempt to establish compelling conflict between Roe v. Wade/Casey v. Planned Parenthood, so they can fight it to the SCOTUS.

Some highlights:

--They'd like to keep the criminalization of abortion, but would like to change the verbiage so that if a woman obtains an illegal abortion, she isn't viewed as a criminal, but merely a second victim to a crime.

--  In cases of rape/incest, the bill has changed very little, but they're talking about adding other ways a woman can "report" her rape/incest by medical examination or speaking to the clergy within 20 days.

-- They've proposed to add back all the right-to-life propaganda verbiage, as well as stating that abortion is an incredibly dangerous procedure.  The proposed verbiage also states (paraphrase) that a relationship between the fetus and mother exists through the entirety of gestation, and allowing a woman to willfully or mistakenly destroy that bond is physically/mentally/emotionally damaging.  They are, in short, trying to use Casey v. Planned Parenthood to enforce motherhood as a necessity for female health.

-- They've proposed to include "chemical abortion."  Chairman Nunnelee's views on "chemical abortion" include Plan B/Emergency Contraception/The Morning-After Pill.  A Clarion-Ledger article seems to concur with this information: http://clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060322/NEWS/60322013

In case some of you don't know, the Morning After Pill (Emergency Contraception/Plan B/Levonorgestrel) is nothing more than a higher dose of the birth control pills many women take on a daily basis. It's used within the first 72 hours after intercourse to prevent a fertilized egg (if there is one) from implanting in the uterine lining. RU-486/ Mifespristone-Mifeprex, on the other hand, is a true abortifacient. It can be used until eight weeks after conception.

Folks, banning Emergency Contraception is a half-step away from banning birth control. Many of the brands women regularly use are used as emergency contraception. I urge you to call Chairman Nunnelee's office.
