(Radio Iowa) – Pro-life advocates welcomed the Supreme Court ruling on abortion. Kristie McGregor has spent every Wednesday outside the Sioux City Planned Parenthood clinic for the last two years praying. She says since her miscarriage in 2017, she’s devoted herself completely to fighting for a ban on abortion. McGregor says she’s happy with today’s ruling – but she’s not celebrating yet. She says that won’t come until it’s outlawed completely.

“I think sometimes people get excited, and then they, then they give up the fervor in the fight. But we have a long road ahead of us. And we need to keep vigilant and keep pushing forward,” McGregor says.

She sees the court’s reversal as a step in the right direction. But until abortions in Iowa are banned, McGregor says she’ll keep showing up every Wednesday to pray.
