A recent story from the Associated Press looks at the uncertainty facing doctors, and patients with life threatening pregnancies, now that the state’s abortion ban has taken effect. The story follows Knoxville criminal defense attorney Chloe Akers, from her first reading of the state's new criminal statute in June, to quitting her law firm to founding the non-profit Stand Together Tennessee. Through the new group, Akers hopes to explain the intricacies of the law to doctors and the lawyers who might defend them. Akers has launched a Go Fund Me account to raise money for the new venture.
