Tennessee Bill Would Help Support State’s Abortion Ban

The Human Life Protection Act, the Tennessee law that is protecting over 1,000 unborn children from legalized abortion every month, is in danger.

Soon after the law took effect, abortion activists with the ACLU and the Center for Reproductive Rights brought a lawsuit challenging the law. While hearing the case, the court raised concerns about the medical necessity exceptions. During the next session, the legislature responded to clarify but not weaken the law. The court challenge should have ended there but it didn’t.
