Freshman state Senator Lee Yancey (R - District 20) is preparing a bill to ban abortion in Mississippi with absolutely no exceptions for rape/incest, a woman's life, health, or emotional well-being. Celebrate the start of the 2008 Legislative Session by urging your representatives to oppose this irresponsible, dangerous piece of legislature, and to express your support of realistic, prevention-based solutions to promote health and reduce unplanned pregnancies in Mississippi. Frequent calls to your legislators throughout the session will ensure that women's health does not take a backseat to political power struggles. There are several incoming legislators and committee assignments have not yet been made, so it may be easier for you to ring the switchboard (601-359-3770) and ask to leave messages for your senator and representative. Be sure to have your districts at hand. (If you don't know your districts, please visit Project VoteSmart.)
