Mississippi politicians react to leaked U.S. Supreme Court draft abortion decision

Earlier tonight Politico claimed to have an initial draft of the Dobbs decision. The contents of the article & veracity of linked opinion can't be verified. AG Fitch made this statement: “We will let the Supreme Court speak for itself and wait for the Court’s official opinion.”

Today, we start a new chapter in American history, leaving behind the false premise that abortion levels the playing field for women. We can empower women AND promote life. This is our message to the Justices and the world that is watching. #EmpowerWomenPromoteLife pic.twitter.com/583rVCCaJF

Life is a fundamental right that was attacked under Roe v. Wade for half a century.

If the Dobbs case is indeed overturned, as it should be, the unborn - at least in states like Mississippi - will have that right restored.

Everyone is rightly outraged over the alleged leak in the MS abortion case.

Let’s think bigger. For decades, America has been uniquely radical in the West. Our abortion laws look like China & N. Korea.

Please pray for wisdom & courage for SCOTUS. Countless lives can be saved!

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.
