Mayor shines light on sanctity of human life | Local News

As he stood on the steps of the Jones County Courthouse last Friday for a celebration of the sanctity of human life, Laurel Mayor Johnny Magee brought a unique perspective to the event.

He told the story of a pregnant 36-year-old woman living in Laurel married to a man who abused her. She had one child already, but did not want to bring another one into the toxic environment. She contemplated having an abortion.
