Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves signed into law a $10 million tax credit for crisis pregnancy centers.
Now, the building is painted white, the site of an upscale consignment shop - as much a symbol of victory for anti-abortion groups as the Pink House was once a symbol of defiance." that state officials say are expanding operations thanks to $10 million in tax credits for businesses that donate to them.
Shelby Wilcher, press secretary for Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves, said the centers are critical to the state helping women and families. He's since extended postpartum Medicaid coverage from two months to one year and is setting up a task force to improve the state's foster care and adoption system. Sara Smith, executive director of the Center for Pregnancy Choices in Meridian, said she envisions the center being able to greatly expand its services with money it receives from the tax credit.
Smith said the center has seen a slight increase in clients over the past year but attributed the rise to the center's increased marketing and community outreach efforts. She said women are still coming to the center unsure of whether they want to continue with their pregnancy. Shannon Bagley, executive director of the Center for Pregnancy Choices in Vicksburg, said the center has also not seen a dramatic increase in women seeking help with their pregnancies over the past year.
"We have found that even at the four-year mark, I can now send her over to another facility that does similar things that we do but they do4 and up," Bagley said.
