Abortion; create crime of performing by an abortifacient supplied by a person or entity out-of-state.
HB 812 would make it a felony for out-of-state individuals or entities to supply abortion drugs to Mississippi residents, targeting those who mail, ship, or place such drugs into commerce knowing they’ll be used in Mississippi. It imposes penalties of up to $100,000 fines or 10 years in prison for violations, while allowing pregnant women to sue foreign senders for $10,000 per violation. The bill defines "abortifacient" as drugs requiring FDA approval or primarily used for abortion and includes defenses for licensed in-state medical providers. It does not criminalize pregnant women or lawful medical procedures. (Note: The bill died in committee in February 2026 and is not law.)
