---------------------------------------------------------------------

The Mississippi Legislature has passed one of the most restrictive
anti-abortion laws in the country, banning abortions after 15 weeks,
even in the case of rape or incest. Mississippi Republican Governor Phil
Bryant has signaled he'll sign the bill, tweeting, "As I have repeatedly
said, I want Mississippi to be the safest place in America for an unborn
child."
