In the mid-1990s, Miss Betty Thompson retired from her job in state government, and started a second career working at the Jackson Women’s Health Organization as a counselor. By 2004, it was the only remaining abortion clinic in Mississippi.
Often faced with incredibly long distances to travel, and protesters on the ground upon their arrival, Betty helped all those who walked through the doors. In 2022, the clinic would become the center of the pending U.S. Supreme Court case challenging Roe v. Wade. Betty worked there at the clinic for almost 25 years, but it was her own experiences as a teenager that brought her to the work.Betty Thompson on April 14th, 2016, in Jackson, Mississippi.
