MS Free Press: “Moments after declaring the importance of “understanding and appreciating science” when it comes to abortion issues, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves erroneously claimed that 15-week-old fetuses can survive outside the womb. That is at least seven weeks earlier than the point at which fetal viability becomes even marginally possible, scientific studies show.
The governor made his remarks during an interview with CNN anchor Jake Tapper while discussing an upcoming U.S. Supreme Court case about the constitutionality of Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban—a law Reeves helped pass when he presided over the Mississippi Senate in 2018.”
