Getting Tough on Abortion in Mississippi

(CNN) 
With a swipe of a pen Monday, Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant signed into law a bill that prevents women from getting abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. His state, effective immediately, now holds the distinction of having the earliest abortion ban in the nation.

"I was proud to sign House Bill 1510 this afternoon. I am committed to making Mississippi the safest place in America for an unborn child, and this bill will help us achieve that goal," Bryant
tweeted Monday.

Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves echoed that sentiment Monday,
tweeting "It's a great day in Mississippi" along with a picture of the signing.  



Also known as the Gestational Age Act, Mississippi's new law makes exceptions only for medical emergencies or cases in which there's a "severe fetal abnormality." There are no exceptions for incidents of rape or incest.

Ok, Gov, I read through the article but couldn't find anything about your plan to deal with unwanted children. Did I miss something, or haven't you thought about that?  Of course, women with the financial means will simply go to a state or country where it is legal, and you will have to deal with an increase in the number of poor, unwanted children.  But, since you are governor of one of the wealthiest states in the union, it shouldn't pose a problem for you and the citizens you represent.
