"That is not what we are focused on at this time," Reeves said."We're focused on looking at, seeing what the court allows for, the bill that is before the court is a 15-week ban. We believe that the overturning of Roe is the correct decision by the court." Reeves went on to say that he believes that when it comes to abortion, Mississippi does not"have laws on the books that would lead to arresting individuals or anything along those lines.""Well, certainly I don’t think that you’re gonna see doctors performing abortions if we have a state statute which says that they’re not allowable, except for those exceptions that we’ve mentioned earlier," Reeves said.
"Well, I don't think that's going to happen in Mississippi. I'm sure they'll have those conversations in other states," Reeves said."Well that's always the case. There's so many things we can talk about," Reeves said before highlighting some of the resources his administration is providing for pregnancy resource centers, including adoption resources.of a draft opinion from February signaled the Supreme Court would overturn Roe v. Wade.
