EXCERPT:
Although it was completely expected, it’s wonderful to hear that Mississippi pro-life Gov. Tate Reeves has signed House Bill 1613.
HB 1613 amends the state’s drug trafficking statutes to make it illegal “to create, sell, barter, transfer, manufacture, distribute, dispense or prescribe an ‘abortion-inducing drug.’”
HB 1613 passed both the House in February and the Senate in March by overwhelming margins
“Penalties for those convicted of a crime include up to ten years in prison,” according to Bridget Sielicki. “Additionally, the legislation allows the Attorney General to bring a civil lawsuit against anyone accused of violating the law” but imposes “no penalties on the mother taking the abortion drug — only those involved in trafficking and distributing.”
