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

This bill (HC 26) proposes amending the Mississippi Constitution to establish a fundamental right to personal reproductive decisions, including abortion access before fetal viability or when necessary to protect life/health. It directly affects all Mississippi residents seeking reproductive healthcare by prohibiting state interference with these rights. The key provision would create a constitutional guarantee, requiring the state to refrain from denying or interfering with abortion access under the specified conditions. The amendment was referred to the Constitution committee but died there on February 3, 2026, and would have required voter approval in the November 2026 election if passed.
