IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
January 22, 2025
Mrs. Hyde-Smith (for herself, Mr. Wicker, Mr. Hoeven, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Ricketts, Mr. Lee, and Mr. Banks) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
RESOLUTION
Honoring Mississippi’s Gestational Age Act.
Whereas, on January 15, 2018, Mississippi State Representative Becky Currie of Brookhaven, Mississippi introduced the Gestational Age Act to protect unborn children from elective abortion after 15 weeks gestation; Whereas, on March 19, 2018, the Gestational Age Act was passed by the Mississippi State Legislature, approved by Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant, and enacted into law; Whereas, in May 2021, the United States Supreme Court agreed to review Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, 597 U.S. 215 (2022), a challenge to the constitutionality of the Gestational Age Act, where the question before the Court was whether all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortion are unconstitutional; and Whereas, on June 24, 2022, the United States Supreme Court issued its historical decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, holding that “the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion. Roe and Casey must be overruled, and the authority to regulate abortion must be returned to the people and their elected representatives.”: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the Senate—
(1) expresses profound gratitude to Mississippi State Representative Becky Currie for introducing the catalyst that ultimately brought about the historical victory of overturning Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 503 U.S. 833 (1992); and
(2) honors life-affirming States across the country that have enacted laws aimed to value and protect the inherent dignity of every mother and unborn child. <all>
