Rep. Susan Lynn, R-Mt. Juliet, said that three separate bills tightening abortion laws are in the works, although she’s not sure which one she will file. According to Lynn, Tennessee Right to Life is working with outside legal counsel to draft bills that would re-instate laws struck down by the Tennessee Supreme Court in 2000. Rep. Rick Womick, R-Rockvale, has already pre-filed an abortion-related bill, but Tennessee Right to Life, which lobbied heavily in favor of Tennessee’s recently passed constitutional amendment, is not lending its support to the bill. The Daily Herald has more.
