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.
May all the mothers and daughters of these Republicans be the first to suffer these new laws.
This is about children. No child should suffer through pregnancy. I don’t care what their politics are or what their parents’ politics are.
Just the ones who voted republican. There are plenty of innocent who can’t afford to move/travel.
