A Tennessee woman who drew national attention when she had to travel out of state to access a medically necessary abortion is now running for the state legislature, News Channel 5 reports. Allie Phillips announced Monday she's running for the Democratic nomination for Tennessee's House of Representatives District 75, a seat currently held by Clarksville Republican Rep. Jeff Burkhart. Phillips says her experience trying to access a medically necessary abortion in the state inspired her to run.
