Mississippi Governor Signs Multiple Pro-Life Bills to Build a 'Culture of Life'

Mississippi enacts eight new laws that aim to build a "culture of life" by making adoption easier, strengthening the foster care system, and increasing support for pro-life pregnancy centers as alternatives to abortion clinics. The state's 15-week abortion ban was the focus of a landmark Supreme Court ruling last year that overturned Roe v. Wade, ending federal protections for abortion and permitting states to restrict or ban the procedure. Pro-life groups praised the governor and state legislature for advancing these proposals into law.
