The clinic is trying to comply with the law, according to owner Diane Derzis, but it has been hampered by red tape and the cumbersome application process to obtain hospital privileges.

AKA: Here, have a law that's too difficult to comply with in the amount of time we're allowing you to attempt to comply with it.

This is such bullshit. I can't even.

Republican Gov. Phil Bryant called it "the first step in a movement, I believe, to do what we campaigned on: to say that we're going to try to end safe abortion in Mississippi."

Here. Fixed that for you.

"I think the intent is to make sure that women who are receiving these abortions are receiving abortions by a professional physician who is certified,"

This is a LIE, he knows good and well this will drive women into the arms of back-alley abortionists and taking penny royal oil or using a knitting needle or a coat hanger. He freaking KNOWS that.
