Attorney General Lynn Fitch Moves to Ensure Lives Are Saved by Enacting the Will of the People
Washington, D.C. â Unborn children and their mothers will be protected throughout pregnancy in Mississippi starting July 7 as Attorney General Lynn Fitch certified the stateâs existing pro-life law this morning. The law takes effect 10 days from certification. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America praised Fitch in a statement:
âWe rejoice with Attorney General Fitch and the people of Mississippi as their right to protect unborn babies and honor mothers in the law is restored. In Mississippi and in states across the country, lives are being saved immediately by ensuring that the people have a voice,â said SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser. âAttorney General Fitchâs bold leadership played an instrumental role in this great human rights victory and weâve been proud to stand together, including a partnership to support more than 30 life-affirming pregnancy centers across Mississippi. We are just getting started as we continue working together to build on the vast network of pro-life organizations that save lives through their love and service to both mother and child.â
With Mississippiâs action today, broad legal protections for unborn children and mothers are in effect in 12 states, with at least eight others poised to follow swiftly. SBA Pro-Life America will continue to track the status of pro-life laws in post-Roe America.
