Wade<\/em><\/a> while explaining what comes next for the pro-life movement.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, the Supreme Court\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/united-states-supreme-court-overturns-roe-v-wade-leaves-abortion-restrictions-to-states\">voted<\/a>\u00a06-3 in\u00a0<em>Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization, <\/em>overturning\u00a0Roe and Planned Parenthood v. Casey in the process. <em>Dobbs<\/em> originated in Mississippi after The Magnolia State enacted a law in 2018 that banned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/abortion\">abortion<\/a> in most instances after 15 weeks of pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>Reeves was lieutenant governor when the law in question went into effect, but he told The Daily Wire that this ruling is about so much more than a simple legal victory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s never been about just simply winning a court case,\u201d Reeves said in a phone conversation. \u201cIt\u2019s always about the next phase \u2014 which is creating that culture of life in our state and across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reeves said that such an effort has already started in Mississippi and around the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe things that we have already done, we\u2019ve already started that process in Mississippi. We\u2019ve invested millions and millions and millions of dollars over the last couple of years in our child protection services, and agency,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>This spring, Reeves <a href=\"https:\/\/www.djournal.com\/news\/state-news\/reeves-signs-bill-that-will-help-mississippi-foster-children-find-homes-attend-college\/article_723ba6b3-98bd-5dac-9207-f5dbf542a087.html\">signed<\/a> legislation that geared millions of dollars toward helping children in foster care have access to higher education, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.djournal.com\/news\/state-news\/reeves-signs-bill-that-will-help-mississippi-foster-children-find-homes-attend-college\/article_723ba6b3-98bd-5dac-9207-f5dbf542a087.html\">establishing<\/a> a private-public partnership with The Dave Thomas Foundation to improve rates of adoption in the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are making it easier to adopt a child in our state,\u201d he explained. \u201cWe are doing things to support \u2014 not only the unborn babies \u2014 but also those moms who are expecting and whether \u2026 they want the child or they don\u2019t want the child \u2014 again making it easier for adoptions because we want to help every child find a forever home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reeves, who is Christian, also emphasized that the government cannot continue the culture of life alone. The governor said that the faith community across the country will have to increase their commitment to unborn children and their mothers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we\u2019ve also got to continue to challenge those in the faith community and those in our churches across our state, and most of the country from town to town to step up,\u201d Reeves said.<\/p>\n<p>The governor also cautioned activists against resting on their laurels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow is not the time to celebrate victory and quit because, for most of the pro-life movement, our work is just beginning,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n<p>When asked what he would say to young women and girls who may find themselves pregnant and in a difficult situation, Reeves expressed a message of love and support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy message to those individuals is that there are people that love you, there are people that love that child, and that every single human, every single child is created in God\u2019s image and God loves you,\u201d Reeves said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s incumbent upon us as believers in the Christian world, it\u2019s incumbent upon us to make it easier for those individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reeves continued, pointing out that one of the ways the government can assist in that effort is by making it easier for groups like pregnancy resource centers to operate. In May, Reeves <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecentersquare.com\/mississippi\/mississippi-governor-signs-pregnancy-resources-act-into-law-offering-tax-credits\/article_2954d83c-cd48-11ec-8a74-13f8f7a5b921.html\">signed<\/a> the Pregnancy Resource Act into law, \u201cwhich provides $3.5 million in tax credits to pregnancy resources centers across the state,\u201d according to The Center Square.<\/p>\n<p>The governor explained that the purpose of the law is so that mothers who need help can have access to \u201cpregnancy resource centers so that loving and caring people can help walk that expectant mother through the process \u2014 everything from having the ability to help them sign up for government insurance, if that is something that is of interest to them, to helping them navigate the process to \u2014 if it is their choice to have the baby and then give it up for adoption \u2014 then help get those services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The governor also emphasized that there are \u201cmillions\u201d of Americans looking to help those individuals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgain, we\u2019ve got to show compassion and show that we care. Because I know that I represent millions and millions of Americans that absolutely do care and do love not only that baby but also love that mother who may or may not be in an expected pregnancy,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The governor also said that Friday was a \u201cwatershed moment\u201d for the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no doubt that this is one of the most important days in the history of the United States of America,\u201d Reeves told The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p>When asked specifically if he had any pride in the fact that a case from Mississippi helped to overturn <em>Roe<\/em>, Reeves beamed, \u201cYes, I do have pride. In fact, I\u2019ve never been prouder to be a Mississippian than I am today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He credited the people of Mississippi for making the case possible in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd the reason for that is, because the reason<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pro-life Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves spoke with The Daily Wire for an exclusive interview, detailing his reaction to the Supreme Court\u2019s monumental decision to overturn Roe v.
