Jackson, MS – Diane Derzis is the owner of Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the last abortion facility in Mississippi. On December 1, 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on her challenge to a state ban on abortions after 15 weeks gestation. The case is Dobbs v. JWHO. It is considered particularly important because Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch has used it to ask the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The “mainstream” leftist media has portrayed Derzis and her staff as brave people who are working to preserve the “rights of women to have an abortion. But are they? Hardly.
In the past, Derzis has been known as the “Abortion Queen” for her efforts in Alabama to lobby the legislature for unregulated abortions. But she is also known for something else. Derzis presided over a Birmingham abortion facility that crossed the line of legality in 2012 and paid for it with the court-ordered closure of her now-defunct New Woman All Women (NWAW) abortion facility.
