Tennessee lawmakers have proposed a bill that would allow biological fathers to prevent a woman from getting an abortion.

The bill, known as Senate Bill (SB) 494, allows a person to ask a court to grant an injunction that would stop a woman who is pregnant with the person’s child from obtaining an abortion.
