Mississippi AG: Prayer Overturned Roe – Intercessors for America

The Dobbs decision was not just the result many pro-life politicians’ plans. It was also the result of years of constant prayer from intercessors like you!

From CBN. In Mississippi, abortion is illegal, although few people know the state’s attorney general also paved the way for the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision.

Have you taken your place on the wall?

“The power of prayer, for us, kept us going,” said Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch. …

As the attorney general was preparing for one of her most important cases, Fitch believes God played a central role in overturning America’s abortion law.

“And when we got ready for oral argument (Dec. 1st) Oh, you could just feel this energy — the prayers were there,” Fitch said. “We were very calm going in front of the justices. And the excitement outside in the rally with thousands of people: people were praying.”

Fitch and her office spearheaded Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization — the case responsible for overturning the 1973 Roe v Wade ruling that legalized abortion nationwide. …

Before her daily push for the people begins, the attorney general and her staff arm themselves with faith.

“I have many favorites, but Philippians 4:13 (comes to mind), ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me’,” Fitch said. “This is a very Christian office, we pray together, that’s how we open up activities in our office.”

Fitch credits God and hard work for overturning Roe v Wade, followed by several trigger laws nationwide, including one in Mississippi which bans all abortions except to save the life of a woman, or in cases of rape or incest reported to law enforcement. …

As for what’s ahead, Fitch says she remains steadfast in her duties as a female trailblazer, not just for Mississippi but the nation. Despite the hardships accompanied by being a single mother of three, Fitch shares her story to empower women to choose life while modeling what she believes is noble, excellent, and praiseworthy.

“We believe in the next steps, and as I talk about next steps for this new Dobbs era,” said Fitch. “How do we empower those mothers and those children? What are we doing for the future — as we’ve really evaluated next steps, it involves everyone.”
