And there’s a link to the status of a women’s reproductive rights in Tennessee at the Pro-Choice America website. We get a grade of a D+ with 94% of Tennessee counties having no abortion provider.

ACLU-TN aggressively lobbies all the anti-choice legislation in TN and will be quite busy with the anti-choice proposal pending. According to ACLU Director Hedy Weinberg, ACLU-TN and Planned Parenthood of Middle and East Tennessee (PPMET) are the main actors on this issue in TN and they are on the hill all the time during session, fighting these and other egregious bills. To stay on top of what they’re doing, join their email alert list, a free and confidential email service designed to alert Tennesseans to civil liberties legislation pending in the Tennessee General Assembly and in Congress, as well as to alert Tennesseans to upcoming events of interest.
