For eight years, Derenda Hancock has ushered women from their cars to the doors of Mississippi’s only abortion clinic, donning a rainbow vest as she shields them from protesters waving religious pamphlets and shouting “turn back!” through bullhorns.
Ms Hancock, a 62-year-old part-time waitress, grew accustomed to repeated attempts by lawmakers and anti-abortion activists to block access to abortions at the Jackson Women s Health Organization where she leads the clinic s volunteer escorts.
But the future of that access feels threatened like never before after the US Supreme Court thrust the clinic s noisy city block into the centre of the country s contentious debate over abortion rights.
