Bill Would Ban Abortions Completely, Restore Unborn Babies’ Right to Life
Tennessee lawmakers are mulling new legislation this summer to restore rights to unborn babies in their state. Controversy stalled a state heartbeat bill earlier this year, after some lawmakers argued that it did not go far enough to protect unborn babies from abortion, Nashville Public Radio reports. The new proposal, an amendment to the heartbeat bill (Senate Bill 1236/House Bill 77), would ban all abortions in the state. The state Senate Judiciary is scheduled to review it next week, according to the report.
