The day so many prayed for is here. HB1510 is law and Roe v. Wade is no more. With love for children and the women who bear them, we move forward to secure strong and lasting legal protections and cultural support for life, and a vibrant network of abortion alternatives. 1/3

Gov Reeves’ recent interviews caused confusion on the future of contraceptives in MS after a ruling on Dobbs. The scaremongering on the left intended to make pro-life states look extreme won’t work. Rest assured, wouldn’t move legislation banning contraceptives.

MS House Republicans led to protect the unborn with the passage of HB1510, now on review in Dobbs. Their efforts put us in a position to protect unborn lives. While I condemn the leak, I pray the Supreme Court will stand up for the sanctity of life and overturn Roe.
