Mississippi Republican Gov. Tate Reeves provided updates on the state's climate for abortion and abortion trigger law after Roe v. Wade on 'Your World.'
The way in which the process works here in Mississippi is our attorney general was given the responsibility to certify that, in fact, Roe v Wade had been overturned. She did so yesterday. There's a 10-day period for that certification to go into effect. Not surprising, the Jackson Women's Health Organization - the same group that had sued in the Dobbs case - filed a lawsuit yesterday asking our stateto overturn that decision.
It'll go through the process, but we're hopeful that that litigation will be done quickly. We are hopeful that the Mississippi Supreme Court will rule in our favor and allow our trigger law to go into effect.Certainly, we don't have any intention in our state of banning any contraceptives. That is not a conversation that we've had internally. Nor do I expect there to be one.
