“Mississippians should be encouraged to know that they have a champion like Sen.

Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith added:

“We must remain strong in taking down the laws and policies which encourage abortion, and the Family Research Council is an unwavering partner in this fight. I am honored by this recognition and will continue to support those policies that reaffirm the sanctity of life and the protection of the unborn.”
