Bill > SB2116

This bill prohibits abortion of an unborn human individual with a detectable heartbeat in Mississippi, except to prevent the death of the pregnant woman or to prevent serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function. It also subjects physicians who perform abortions on a pregnant woman after determining the unborn individual has a detectable heartbeat to license revocation or disciplinary action. The bill defines key terms like "fetal heartbeat" and "unborn human individual" and outlines the required documentation and procedures for physicians performing certain medical procedures. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2019.
