Results of a quick search:
Abortion in France is legal on demand during the first 14 weeks from conception. Abortions at later stages of pregnancy are allowed if two physicians certify that the abortion will be done to prevent grave permanent injury to the physical or mental health of the pregnant woman; a risk to the life of the pregnant woman; or that the child will suffer from a particularly severe illness recognized as incurable. The abortion law was liberalized by the Veil Law in 1975.
I didn't look at the Mississippi law.
14 weeks is a bit too far out for my tastes.
My hard cutoff is 12 weeks. Meaning, I think they should make it federal law that no state is allowed to permit abortions (except for the provisions outlined above that France figured out decades ago) after 12 weeks.
I also think no one should abort (except for the provisions mentioned priorly) for any reason.
Question: do you think a woman should get to abort if she's pregnant from a rape? I do.

There's where you and I disagree. The Federal government should stay out of it, unless a law enacted in one state causes harm to another.
