Tennessee Republican files 'abortion trafficking' bill for pregnant minors - eviltoast
The bill would allow parents to take their pregnant child out of state for an abortion, but other adults would face a Class C felony.

A Tennessee Republican hopes to establish an “abortion trafficking” felony for adults who help pregnant minors get an out-of-state abortion without parental permission, an effort reproductive health advocates argue will run afoul of constitutional rights such as interstate travel.

Rep. Jason Zachary, R-Knoxville, filed House Bill 1895 on Monday. The legislation would establish a new Class C felony, which could carry three to 15 years in prison, for an adult that “recruits, harbors or transports” a pregnant minor for the purposes of receiving an out-of-state abortion or for getting abortion medication.

    Dude, you deleted your entire comment and are trying to frame the guy like if he’s believing GOP talking points. OP disagreed that it wasn’t about state rights, and it was about slavery. And now you’re here saying he’s believing lies? You’re the liar, my guy.

      I did, like I said I did…

      Because the delete and edit buttons are tiny on a phone and right next to each other…

      But after all the insults you’ve thrown out this morning, I’m just going to block you.

      I was hoping just ignoring and not responding to you would be enough, but apparently it’s not.
