Tennessee's Pro-Life Victory

Credit :

 This week saw landmark pro-life activity in the Tennessee State Legislature, as two bills were passed overwhelmingly in the House – having previously passed with large majorities in the Senate. Both bills are now on their way to Governor Bill Haslam (R), expected to sign them into law.

These bills will implement informed consent, a 48-hour waiting period (after a woman receives the information), and requiring that abortion facilities performing 50 abortions per year be licensed and inspected by the State Department of Health.

While only a first step to protect women and save pre-born lives in Tennessee, these laws represent the culmination of a tireless 14-year effort by pro-life advocates to reverse a dangerous, even deadly policy put in place through a court ruling.
