'WIN FOR LIFE': Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves is 'ecstatic' over the Supreme Court abortion ruling.
"I've never been prouder to be a Mississippian because the reason that we, as elected officials in Mississippi, could bring this litigation to a head is because of the convictions of our constituents," Reeves said."Mississippi is a God-fearing place."
"We've seen protests in many instances get out of hand over the last several years, particularly in Democrat-run cities," he said."I hope and I pray for the safety of these justices. I hope and I pray for our elected leaders all across America that they work to protect our citizens.
"In our state, we have put together an action plan for any protest that might get out of hand," he said."I'm hopeful and I'm prayerful that that will not happen in our state and I honestly don't think it will because we've got a lot of people in Mississippi that call themselves Democrats that are cheering on this decision today. In our state, at least, this is a win for life.
"I honestly believe that voters across the country elect Republicans to do big things," he said."They elect us to stand for what we believe in, they elect us even in the face of adversity to do what's right and I believe in my heart that we are doing God's will and I will continue to do that."In addition, Reeves said that elected officials in Mississippi are trying to"create a culture of life" while also working to"make it easier for adoptions.
