    JACKSON, Mississippi (WAPT) — A 20-foot inflatable intrauterine device, or IUD, was displayed at the Mississippi Capitol on Tuesday to highlight the need for the Right to Contraception Act.

Organizers said the display underscores the importance of federal and state legislation that would ensure Mississippians have access to contraception, regardless of future Supreme Court decisions.

Chris Fleming, co-founder of Americans for Contraception, spoke about the significance of the display.

The display is scheduled to travel to Birmingham on Wednesday.
