A Senate resolution is the Senate speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the Senate agrees to it, it is officially the Senate's word; it is not a law, so the House and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution honors Mississippi's Gestational Age Act and the impact of its legal challenge. It acknowledges Mississippi State Representative Becky Currie for introducing the act that served as a catalyst for overturning previous legal precedents. The resolution notes that the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health returned the authority to regulate abortion to the people and their elected representatives. Finally, it expresses gratitude to Representative Currie and honors states that have passed laws to protect the dignity of mothers and unborn children.

    The resolution honors a legal shift that significantly restricts women's reproductive autonomy and access to abortion services.
