The night included many speeches, prayers, and songs with many of whom were from activists, pastors, and physicians in the movement.

Governor Reeves opened the event with prayer and a speech that voiced his opposition against abortion. This comes after the recent Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization Supreme Court case which could overturn Roe v. Wade.
In a press conference following the vigil, Gov. Reeves went on to discuss preparations that the state making to support women in a potential post-Roe v. Wade world stating “Between now and the ultimate decision comes down from the Supreme Court, We going to have an asset map to where our young expectant mothers can come to find those resources”.
