Gov. Reeves, State Rep. Crudup join National Pro-Life Leaders for a Dobbs prayer event hosted by FRC in Jackson, Mississippi

JACKSON, Miss., Nov. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves and Mississippi State Representative Ronnie Crudup, Jr. will join pro-life leaders from across the nation on Sunday, November 28, for Pray Together for Life, a nationwide prayer event. The event, hosted by Family Research Council, will take place in Jackson, Mississippi, home of the pro-life law at issue in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization three days before the U.S. Supreme Court hears oral arguments in the case. For decades, pro-life Americans have prayed and worked to see Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that legalized abortion on demand through all nine months of pregnancy, overturned. This decision could be the case that sends Roe to the dustbin of history.

Marjorie Dannenfelser, President, Susan B. Anthony List
Mike Farris, President & CEO, Alliance Defending Freedom
Ryan Bomberger, Co-Founder, Radiance Foundation
