The procedural vote moves the bill one step closer to becoming law in a state that already limits access to abortions. House Bill 1510, known as the Gestational Age Act, was approved by the state Senate by a 35-14 vote on Tuesday. The House vote was 75-34 in favor. The law would take effect immediately, making Mississippi the state with the most restrictive abortion law measured in weeks of pregnancy. "House Bill 1510 will help us achieve that goal, and I look forward to signing it."
