‘I pray we are not living in times where our high courts are going to say that our home states can trap us when we are pregnant.’
‘This bill is a direct attack on me, on my family, on my friends, on my network that support Tennesseans who are pregnant and vulnerable minors that need access to care to go across state lines and receive the necessary care.’
‘This bill is simply a parental rights bill,’ said Republican Rep. Jason Zachary, who is sponsoring the proposal.
