Bill 119 SRES 30 is a resolution that honors Mississippi's Gestational Age Act. This act, passed by the Mississippi state legislature, prohibits abortions after 15 weeks of gestation, with limited exceptions for medical emergencies or severe fetal abnormalities. The resolution recognizes the efforts of Mississippi lawmakers in passing this legislation, which is one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country.

Supporters of the Gestational Age Act argue that it protects the rights of the unborn and promotes the sanctity of life. They believe that a fetus is a living human being deserving of legal protection, and that limiting abortions after 15 weeks is a reasonable restriction on a woman's right to choose.

Opponents of the law, however, argue that it infringes on women's reproductive rights and access to healthcare. They believe that the government should not interfere in personal medical decisions, and that the Gestational Age Act is an unconstitutional restriction on a woman's right to choose. Overall, Bill 119 SRES 30 is a resolution that acknowledges and honors Mississippi's Gestational Age Act, a controversial piece of legislation that has sparked debate and legal challenges. It reflects the ongoing national conversation surrounding abortion rights and the balance between protecting fetal life and women's reproductive autonomy.
