Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves confirmed Sunday that his state will enforce a law that bars most abortions if Roe v. Wade is overturned by the Supreme Court days after the court held a hearing on the state’s 15-week abortion ban.
When asked during a CNN appearance about whether the law would be enforced if Roe v. Wade is overturned, “That is a yes,“ Reeves said, ”because if you believe as I believe very strongly that that innocent, unborn child in the mother’s womb is in fact a child, the most important word when we talk about unborn children is not unborn, but it’s children.”
