A Tennessee lawmaker and pro-abortion attorney have filed a lawsuit against several district attorneys over a law that bans adults from helping minors get abortions. The law allows for minors to obtain an abortion if they have a parent or legal guardian’s consent.

The legislation, signed by Gov. Bill Lee in May, goes into effect on July 1.
