Mississippi Passes Law Banning Abortion After 15 Weeks
  • 6 years ago

On Thursday, Mississippi lawmakers passed the nation’s most restrictive abortion law, making the procedure illegal after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Governor Phil Bryant has said that he will sign the measure that was voted at the House 75-34. The owner of Mississipi's only abortion clinic has said she'll sue if the bill goes into law. Mississippi’s own 20-week ban has never been legally challenged, mostly because the clinic doesn’t perform abortions that late in pregnancy.
