Today, the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) issued the following statement from Governor Phil Bryant, Senior Advisor for AFPI:
“With the Supreme Court’s decision in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, nearly 50 years of Roe v. Wade’s judicially mandated abortion has finally been overturned.
During my time as governor of the great state of Mississippi, I was honored to sign the bill that will now restore American citizens’ voices in the abortion debate. Now, our moral duty to protect life at all stages will be exercised by voters through their elected representatives at the state level.
This is how our Constitution was designed to operate and how our democracy functions best: when the issues are debated in the public square and decided on by the voters, rather than imposed by a court in Washington, D.C.
But the pro-life movement also understands that our fight is just beginning. In the coming days, our efforts to assert the full dignity of every human life will become more important as radical Democrats attempt to legalize taxpayer-funded abortion up until the moment of birth. We must protect the rights of the unborn and surround them with the love and rich teachings of our faith. May we also continue to offer care and support to the most vulnerable among us in the days ahead. Let us all pray for wisdom, courage, and justice in the fight for life.”
