Bill > SRes30

This resolution honors Mississippi's Gestational Age Act, a state law introduced in 2018 by Representative Becky Currie that prohibited elective abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The resolution highlights the law's significant role in the landmark Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Supreme Court case, which ultimately overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022. The Senate expresses gratitude to Representative Currie for introducing legislation that became the catalyst for the Supreme Court's decision, which returned abortion regulation authority to states and their elected representatives. Additionally, the resolution commends states that have enacted laws aimed at protecting the "inherent dignity" of both mothers and unborn children, framing these efforts as life-affirming approaches to regulating abortion.
