Mississippi's Failure: Maternal and Reproductive Healthcare
Mississippi’s has done nothing to improve access to reproductive healthcare. The ACLU-MS' latest paper outlines state officials’ history of negligence against pregnant people, children, and victims of rape.
We fight to protect civil liberties for all Mississippians through our work at the state legislature. The 2023 legislative session began on January 3, 2023.
Our legislative priorities this year cover issues including:
Requires all applications for voter registration to be processed no later than 10 days after the registration deadline; additionally, if the submitted application is flawed or unable to be processed, applicants must be notified and given 5 days to "cure" their application.
Would authorize voter registration upon sentence completion. Here, "sentence" means, and is limited to, the term of incarceration, probation, and parole for a disqualifying conviction.
