The state ban would automatically take effect if the case is overturned and prohibit all abortions except in cases of rape or to save the life of a mother.
Sunday, host Jake Tapper asked Reeves about a law Mississippi has on the books that would automatically ban all abortions—except in cases of rape, or to save the life of the mother—if"If that happens, would you start enforcing that in your state— the almost complete ban, regardless of how many weeks of the pregnancy?" Tapper asked.
Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves said Sunday that if Roe v. Wade was overturned, he would enforce an almost complete ban on abortions that would automatically take effect in his state.

Reeves went on to say that in his opinion, there is no guaranteed right to an abortion in the Constitution. He added that ifis overturned, it"doesn't mean that no one in America is going to have access—although that might make people like me happy— but, 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.
