(Jackson, MS) In celebration of the two-year anniversary of the Mississippi Dobbs decision, Attorney General Lynn Fitch released the following statement:
“As we celebrate the second anniversary of this landmark decision, it is our responsibility to take up the task we asked the Court to give us: To find and employ new and better ways to empower women and promote life. The story did not end when Roe was overturned; rather it started a new chapter. Our mission is to advocate for and support women so that they and their children can thrive. This is what my Empowerment Project is about:
• Making quality childcare more affordable and accessible,
• Promoting workplace flexibilities,
• Improving child support enforcement,
• Fixing broken foster care and adoption systems, and
• Giving young mothers the resources, upskilling, and support they need for a healthy, flourishing family.
“This is our call to action. It falls to all of us to empower women and promote life with laws that reflect our respect for the dignity of women, children, and life itself. I am grateful to the Mississippi Legislature, which has demonstrated a true commitment to this mission, passing a dozen proposals from my Empowerment Project agenda in just two years. I am proud of the impact we have made together, but I know that our job is not done. In the years to come, I will continue to advocate for the policies that empower and support women so that they can thrive.”
The Empowerment Project is a policy initiative focused on empowering women and promoting strong Mississippi families. Through The Empowerment Project, the Attorney General’s Office seeks out ways to help families of all stages and phases by providing women with the opportunities and resources to upskill, educate, and grow.

Personally, I would have done all of this before overturning Roe v. Wade.
