Jeff Woods of the Nashville Scene has a gift. He’s like a writer with frickin’ laser beams that zero in on the most relevant bits of a discussion, committee meeting, floor session or interview.
This morning he turned his glowing eyes on our interview with Hedy Weinberg, Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee, and her prediction that SJR127 – which would remove any abortion rights protection from the state constitution – will pass in the House this year:
“The agenda of the legislature this year is to take away women’s reproductive rights. … It’s taken them about six years, but I’m afraid this year they will pass in both chambers SJR127. … I have to admit that this is unfortunately getting bipartisan support. Republicans are not the only ones who are anti-choice in Tennessee.”
Our full interview with Hedy will be online later today, but in the meantime, go read what Woods has to report.
