Stephan:   Mississippi is another Republican "failed state." Its social outcome data compared to say, Washington where I live, is so abysmal it might as well be an impoverished third world country. Actually a number of third world countries have better social outcome data than Mississippi. And now, thanks to the Republicans who control the legislature a woman's right to choose has been reduced to a tiny difficult pathway. What will happen? The data is clear: abortions will not go down, only become barbarous and women will die or be rendered sterile because they lack access to proper healthcare.
