Tears, defiance as Mississippi's last abortion clinic learns Roe has fallen
JACKSON, Miss. (Reuters) - The decision that sealed the Pink House's fate dropped shortly after 9 a.m. local time.
"They ruled against Roe. Abortion is now illegal!" a protester yelled outside Mississippi's only abortion clinic on Friday as word trickled out that the U.S. Supreme Court had overturned its landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling.
Jackson Women's Health Organization, nicknamed the Pink House for its bubblegum-colored exterior, was thrust into the center of the country's legal battle over abortion rights after the high court agreed to hear Mississippi's challenge to Roe.
For months, the clinic's staff and volunteers had braced for a worst-case scenario. An end to federal protections for abortion would trigger Mississippi's abortion ban and shut down the clinic.

Mississippi's only abortion clinic says it will keep providing abortions for at least 10 more days after the Supreme Court overturned Roe V. Wade
Mississippi's only abortion provider will remain open for at least 10 more days after the Supreme Court ruled in the state's favor and overturned Roe v. Wade
Diane Derzis, owner of the Jackson Women's Health Clinic, said that the clinic plans to stay open and continue providing abortion for at least the next ten days — and she expects pro-life demonstrators to continue harassing patients as they try to enter the clinic.
"We'll be seeing patients for the next 10 days, even if they have to do what they've done so often and that's come through this sort of terrorism," Derzis said on Friday at a news conference.
After that, Derzis said she plans to open clinics in other states.
