Meanwhile, here's a horrifying article that shows just what the national anti-abortionists are up to - total and complete ban on abortion unless a woman is a death's door, her organs shutting down. Then a doctor can terminate. Read what the Tennessee anti-abortionists are saying, via a recording of a webinar in which they discuss it. They also want to go after IVF and the morning after pill.
Awful human beings who think women are not human beings.

In the chat box, state Rep. Susan Lynn, who originally sponsored the law in the House, typed a question: “9 months after the enactment of this law, can we organize with the crisis pregnancy centers to see some of these babies? <3.”
Will Brewer, the state’s most influential anti-abortion lobbyist, responded: “Yes!”
Katie Glenn, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America’s state policy director, counseled lawmakers to let the law sit for another 200 days before reacting to any polls that showed Americans want more exceptions. The protests, she assured them, would fade as people moved on.
Brewer contrasted an “emergency room middle of the night instance, where a woman is bleeding” — which he made clear he believes the law’s affirmative defense covers — with a situation where a woman might want to terminate a pregnancy because of a high-risk medical history.
“That is not an urgent need,” he said. “We want to make sure that these quasi-elective abortions are being stopped.”
Glenn said cases involving abortion pills should not be permitted under the law because the process takes multiple days.
“Nothing about that is an emergency,” she said.
