During an interview Sunday, GOP Governor Tate Reeves said there’s “some reason for optimism” the Supreme Court will uphold the 15-week ban and overturn 1973’s Roe v. Wade. Reeves, however, assured if the decision is overturned he plans on enforcing a near total ban of all abortions in his state.
“What it does mean is that all 50 states, the laboratories of democracy, are going to have the ability to enact their own laws with respect to abortion,” he stated. “I think that’s the way it should be in America.”
The Republican governor’s remarks come as Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) on Sunday said he believes it’s about time abortion law decisions be turned back to the states.
