but it's mississippi. in 2001, mississippi voted to keep the confederate flag as a part of its state flag by a 28-point margin. in 2004, mississippi voted to ban gay marriage by a 72-point margin. 72 points was the margin of victory. every single county in mississippi voted in favor of the gay marriage ban. that's a simple map. this year in 2011, a public policy polling survey found only 40% of mississippi republicans think that interracial marriage should be legal. so mississippi has a really radical, really conservative record when it comes to their opinions and their voting record on other mississippians' rights. survey usa served all 50 states on abortion rights in 2005. the national average was 56% of americans identifying themselves as pro-choice. in mississippi, though, you can drop that by nearly 20 points, please.
