Tennessee lawmakers say they are considering whether to seek one of the nation's strictest abortion bans even as such laws continue to be struck down in court.
Tennessee lawmakers said Monday they are considering whether to seek one of the nation's strictest abortion bans even as such laws continue to be struck down in court.
At Bell's instructions, the informal hearing won't result in a vote or decision of any kind once testimony concludes on Tuesday. And lawmakers on the judiciary panel were largely discouraged from making political statements and instead told to ask questions about the legislation. Nationwide, abortion opponents are emboldened by new conservatives on the Supreme Court and are seeking cases to challenge Roe v. Wade, the court's 1973 ruling that legalized abortion nationwide.
Tennessee attempted to pass the same bill as well during this year's legislative session but stopped short after legislative leaders raised concerns that the measure would result in the state losing costly court battles.
