With no surprise to anybody paying attention to the reproductive services sabotage happening across this country and certainly within the halls of the Tennessee legislature, a Texas-style abortion ban bill has been introduced in Nashville, starting it’s process to become law.
Having to prove itself even more hostile to women and more rabidly red than Texas, Tennessee introduces HB 2779/ SB 2582, a TOTAL BAN on ABORTION with the vigilante/ $10,000 bounty on the heads of ANYBODY “aiding and abetting” someone seeking abortion services.
While outrageously and glaringly unconstitutional, with the current structure of the U.S. Supreme Court posed to overturn Roe v Wade and refusing to impose an injunction on Texas, we can’t feel any amount of optimism for an injunction and overturn of the introduced Tennessee bill.
Red states committed to their rightwing agendas, cancel culture wars and snuffing out abortion services despite wide national support for Roe, are emboldened by their trifecta control of state legislatures. We are in a dangerous territory as never seen before.
We must let legislators know: STOP CRIMINALIZING WOMEN’S BODIES!!!
