House Bill 1510 would make Mississippi the state with the most pro-life laws if it passes the Senate and the governor signs it.

Rep. Becky Currie, who represents the state's 81st district, was the principal author of the bill, called the Gestational Age Act.

HB 1510 does not allow babies conceived in rape or incest to be aborted after 15 weeks.

"The rest of the civilized world understands the severe health risks entailed by late-term abortions that occur after the first trimester," Dr. Jameson Taylor, acting president of the Mississippi Center for Public Policy, told LifeSiteNews. "This is a commonsense approach to protecting maternal health and protecting the life of the unborn."

"HB 1510 is supported by faith-based and pro-life organizations across the state," said Taylor. "Recent polling (January 2018) indicates the vast majority (76%) of voters support commonsense laws regarding abortion, with a limit after the first trimester being one of the preferred options."

"An unborn human being begins to move about in the womb at approximately eight (8) weeks' gestation," the bill says. "At nine (9) weeks' gestation, all basic physiological functions are present. Teeth and eyes are present, as well as external genitalia."

"An unborn human being's vital organs begin to function at ten (10) weeks' gestation," it continues. "Hair, fingernails, and toenails also begin to form. At eleven (11) weeks' gestation, an unborn human being's diaphragm is developing, and he or she may even hiccup. He or she is beginning to move about freely in the womb."

"At twelve (12) weeks' gestation, an unborn human being can open and close his or her fingers, starts to make sucking motions, and senses stimulation from the world outside the womb," the Gestational Age Act says. "Importantly, he or she has taken on 'the human form in all relevant aspects,'" referencing the Supreme Court case Gonzales v. Carhart, which banned partial-birth abortion because it is too close to infanticide.
