Abortion showdown in Miss.
From the South Bend Tribune:
A bomb threat? I won't assume what side did that, but why are there people crazy enough to terrorize that way here?
Anyway, Mississippi only has one clinic in the entire state?
Hundreds of abortion rights advocates and anti-abortion protesters squared off in a contentious rally Saturday with both sides proclaiming Mississippi a new key battleground state in the fight over Roe v. Wade.
The National Organization for Women and other abortion rights groups gathered at a park in downtown Jackson across from the governor's mansion, vowing to counter an eight-day rally by the national anti-abortion group, Operation Save America.
Operation Save America is holding rallies across Jackson in an effort to force the closure of Mississippi's only abortion clinic - a move NOW and abortion rights advocates say would chip away at Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortions.
A bomb threat halted the rally, leading to angry exchanges between the groups. The Jackson Police Department cleared the park and blew up a package found by a bomb squad. Officers would not say what the package contained.
