Explaining the key differences between the abortion laws passed by Mississippi and Texas, which enacted Senate Bill 8 in 2021.
Mississippi’s “Gestational Age Act” bans abortion after 15 weeks except in cases of medical emergency and in cases of severe fetal abnormality.
Further, the state’s Attorney General “shall have authority to bring an action in law or equity to enforce the provisions of this section on behalf of the Director of the Mississippi State Department of Health or the Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure. The Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure shall also have authority to bring such action on its own behalf.”
Texas’ abortion ban which has already been operating for several months relies on private citizens to enforce the law, empowering those to sue anyone who “aids or abets” an abortion, not just the providers as Mississippi’s law lays out.
