Mississippi already has some of the strictest abortion laws in the nation. It requires a 24-hour waiting period and counseling for all abortions, plus the consent of both parents for minors who seek the procedure.
A Missouri lawmaker filed similar legislation to ban abortions, as well as a measure to amend the state's constitution.
"The time has come for these decisions to be made in these deliberative bodies, not by nine men and women who wear black robes," said Republican state Sen. Jason Crowell.
