State Rep. Gino Bulso, R-Brentwood, has introduced a bill to create a new civil cause of action for those who mail or deliver abortion pills. HB26 would allow family members of women who end a pregnancy via abortion pills to sue drug manufacturers and distributors, delivery services and those who help women access abortion-inducing medications from out-of-state. Cases could be brought for up to $5 million in damages. The Tennessean, which reports on the measure, also reports that state law already prohibits sending and receiving abortion pills by mail in Tennessee.
