Tennessee lawmakers are considering a total ban on abortion by cutting off access to the procedure once a woman knows she's pregnant. If the legislation is passed, it will be one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the United States.
More than 20 witnesses from both sides of the abortion debate will testify on the issue before the state's judiciary committee on Monday and Tuesday. During the two-day session, the committee will also discuss an 11-page amendment to the original fetal heartbeat bill that includes a drastic change to the definition of fetal viability.the Constitution protects a woman's right to abortion prior to the viability of a fetus.
Abortion rights activists have slammed the legislation as part of an ongoing unconstitutional attack on women. So far in 2019, nearly a dozen states have approved laws restricting abortion access. Six of those states banned the procedure as early as six or eight weeks into pregnancy. "How do we truly know what women truly need if we're not interested in listening to the women who are most impacted?" Scott said."So this is not about women, this is about power and control."

Abortion is a woman’s decision. NO ONE can make another human being to do anything.
