Protecting Women and Children Act; enact.
SB 2141, titled the "Protecting Women and Children Act," creates a private civil lawsuit allowing individuals to sue those who distribute abortion-inducing drugs in Mississippi, including through internet platforms or mail. The bill prohibits manufacturing, mailing, distributing, or facilitating access to such drugs within the state, but exempts internet service providers, search engines, and cloud services that only offer basic access (not content creation or modification). It defines key terms like "abortion-inducing drug" and "abortion assistance organization" to clarify who is affected, and specifies that enforcement occurs solely through private lawsuits - not criminal penalties. The law aims to address the distribution of these drugs while protecting certain internet services from liability.
