What's the summarised version?

Fertilised eggs receive the same rights as people All abortion is illegal and will be treated the same as murder (including ones from rape and incest) Some forms of contraception will be illegal Doctors may refuse to save the life of a woman if she is dying due to complications in her pregnancy if it means aborting a foetus IVF treatment would be a lot harder because they would have to fertilise and implant one egg at a time instead of many as they do now and many other changes to the way the procedure is preformed reducing it's effectiveness If a woman has a miscarriage she may be investigated and if there was a way she could have prevented it or her actions contributed to or caused the miscarriage, she can be tried and convicted of murder

Ok that's a bit over the top. If the woman is in danger and could potentially die, she should be able to abort the fetus if she so chooses because her life is at stake. If the woman dies because of this and she is still pregnant, both the woman and the baby will die. If the woman's life can be saved then that's what should be done. Miscarriage is not murder. It is an accident. Most women do not know that they will get a miscarriage so how will they be able to preventit? These are some extreme rules.

I'm mostly pro-life and that sounds absolutely stupid, especially 4 and 6.

I'm starting to get to the point where I'd sell a limb to get out of this country.

It's seriously one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard, and I'm sorry, but I will automatically lose any respect for anyone who thinks it's a good idea.

That's taking it way too far. I'm against abortions, but that law is absurd. O.o

It's horrific. Pregnancy is difficult enough as it is without having to worry about tripping over a slipper and being charged with murder. And what if I'm genetically disposed to miscarriages? How would I know unless I try, but how could I dare try when it could destroy my life if I am? It's like those women in third-world countries who are set on fire if they don't give birth to a boy. How the hell were they supposed to know? None of us can control our insides; it's like calling a heart attack suicide because it was a part of the person's body that caused their death. It just doesn't work like that. Sometimes we break and it's no one's fault, and miscarriage is bad enough as it is without pointing a finger at the grieving mother.

So backwards! Miscarriage is heartbreaking enough without being investigated for murder.

All of you here are retarded; did you seriously expect any better from Mississippi? Move on with your lives please.

Law making has just lost all its credibility. Who thought this was a good idea? How did this even get passed!?

Not passed yet, they vote on the 8th. But they could already and have tried women who miscarried with murder :/

Somebody should abort the Mississippians who thought this would be a good law.

That is absolutely RIDONKULOUS!

This is absurd! Including rape victims? It's terrible that they were raped but to have to care for a child? Making abortions illegal just extends the risk of illegal abortions which most of the time kill the mothers as well.

It's atrocious, but it can't pass, right? Wade vs. Roe was a Supreme Court case and determined abortion legality, so can Mississippi go against it?

I guess I'm pro-life, but that's....painfully pro-life.

The law hasn't been passed yet, it's being voted on. People can have their opinions. And some people are on the fence about it. But some of this is dramatized, and judging Mississippians with their own opinions is also wrong.
