Pro-life Bills Pass State House of Mississippi

A group of pro-life bills dealing with pro-life issues such as clinic safety, abortion complications, and protecting infants who are subject to be killed after their birth, have passed the state House in Mississippi and is headed toward the Senate.

House Bills 352, 727, 1038, 1289, 1525, 1612, and 1625 is headed toward the Senate and might soon become part of the law.

H.B. 1038 would restrict the abortion clinics to the first trimester
H.B. 1525 deals with clinics reporting complications resulting from an abortion procedure.
H.B. 727 acts to prohibit human cloning.
H.B. 1289 is a bill to define the killing of an unborn child as either murder or manslaughter
H.B. 1612 is a legislation that would prohibit allowing a child delivered during a failed abortion to die
H.B. 1625 is a bill that would prevent a health-care provider, institution, or payer from being required to participate in a service that violates his or her conscience.
H.B. 352 would amend state code to include the death of an unborn child in the wrongful death statute.

"What we're trying to do here is identify how many women are actually being injured by abortion in Mississippi," said Terry Herring, legislative director for Pro-Life Mississippi. "We find that a hundred women a year are being injured -- we find that this is far too many. Even though abortion is supposed to be 'safe and legal,' it is legal -- but it is not safe."
