A resolution honoring Mississippi's Gestational Age Act.

This Senate Resolution seeks to honor Mississippi's Gestational Age Act , acknowledging its significant contribution to the legal landscape concerning abortion rights in the United States. The resolution specifically expresses profound gratitude to Mississippi State Representative Becky Currie for introducing the Act, which ultimately served as the catalyst for the Supreme Court's review in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health . The resolution highlights that the Dobbs decision, issued on June 24, 2022, overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey , thereby returning the authority to regulate abortion to individual states. Furthermore, it honors other life-affirming States across the country that have enacted legislation aimed at valuing and protecting the inherent dignity of both mothers and unborn children.
