The Tennessee bill, which, goes beyond the Texas law, however, as it allows a resident of the state to sue providers if an abortion occurs at any stage of pregnancy — which essentially outlaws the procedure, except in limited circumstances concerning the health of the pregnant person.
Besides allowing for some health exceptions, the bill also disallows rapists from being able to sue if their victims seek an abortion. However, Democrats noted —— that a loophole in that provision would allow a rapist’s family members or friends to sue a hypothetical rape victim on their behalf.
It’s open season on women.
But will TN help provide for these children when the mothers cannot? If not, what do they expect will happen to them? Do they have enough resources allocated to expand their Health and Human Services and Adoption agencies?
