Protesters Unfurl 20-foot IUD at Mississippi Supreme Court on Griswold Anniversary

A 20-foot inflatable intrauterine device named “Freeda Womb” swayed on the lawn next to the Mississippi Supreme Court Building in downtown Jackson to mark the 61st anniversary of Griswold v. Connecticut, the Mississippi Free Press reported.

The white inflatable IUD was displayed as part of an event headlined “Leave Our Bodies Alone,” according to the Mississippi Free Press. The report said lawmakers and advocates gathered to press for reproductive and contraception rights.

The Mississippi Free Press published the account under the headline “Leave Our Bodies Alone: Mississippi Lawmakers, Advocates Fight for Reproductive and Contraception Rights,” the outlet reported.

The display and related actions were described by the Mississippi Free Press as part of ongoing efforts by advocates and some lawmakers to push for protections for contraception and reproductive health care in the state, the report said.
