Reeves blocks nominee due to ties with abortion clinic
Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves is blocking a state Board of Health nomination because the nominee has ties to the state’s only abortion clinic, The Associated Press confirmed Tuesday.
Dr. Carl Reddix, a Jackson OB-GYN, has served on the Board of Health since last summer, when he was appointed by then-Gov. Haley Barbour.
Barbour, a Republican, submitted Reddix to the Senate for confirmation in January, a week before ending his second term as governor.
