HC 24 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Constitution; amend to provide for the right to personal reproductive decisions.

This bill proposes adding a new constitutional right to Mississippi's 1890 Constitution, establishing a fundamental right to privacy for personal reproductive decisions. It would directly affect all Mississippi residents by prohibiting the state from interfering with abortions before fetal viability or when necessary to protect a person's life or health. The amendment, if approved by voters in 2026, would require the state to respect these abortion access protections. However, the bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and will not advance to a voter referendum.
