Trailblazing Female Attorney General Fights for Re-Election
- In 2020, Lynn Fitch shattered the glass ceiling by becoming Mississippi’s first female attorney general, representing the Republican Party.
- As an integral figure in the groundbreaking Dobbs v. Jackson case in 2022, Fitch effectively spearheaded the reversal of Roe v. Wade, a historic ruling for the pro-life movement.
- Currently, Fitch is seeking re-election amidst challenges from pro-abortion advocates who oppose her pro-life stance and advocacy for mothers and infants.
The Pushback Against Fitch’s Pro-Life Advocacy
- Pro-choice groups and activists have expressed vehement opposition to Fitch’s re-election bid, accusing her of undermining women’s rights by backing anti-abortion laws.
- Emily Trifone, from the Democratic Attorneys General Association, openly criticized Fitch for her belief that anti-abortion laws empower women. Trifone urges voters to replace Fitch with a candidate who supports policies that genuinely uplift women and Mississippi citizens.
- Disability Rights Mississippi lawyer, Greta Kemp Martin, seeks to replace Fitch, pledging to respect health care freedom, privacy, and fight for the people of Mississippi.
Notable Pro-Life Actions and the Fight Ahead
- Fitch’s pro-life contributions include supporting Florida’s 15-week abortion ban and heartbeat law, as well as advocating for mothers and babies’ improved care to end abortion nationwide.
- Despite the opposition, Fitch remains steadfast in her cause, partnering with pro-life organizations for donation drives and receiving support from influential pro-life groups, like the Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America.
- Yet, prominent left-wing organizations, like the Southern Poverty Law Center Action Fund and the Democratic Attorneys General Association, are gearing up to challenge her and other pro-life Republican leaders.
