Just after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June, a federal court allowed Tennessee’s “Heartbeat Bill” to become law, making the state’s abortion law one of the strictest in the nation.

Some of the legislators who supported and voted for the bill and other abortion legislation have made statements indicating they will support new legislation to ease the burden on physicians and add exceptions for rape and incest.
