Changing Tennessee’s Abortion Law

Tennessee lawmakers have filed legislation which would allow fathers of an unborn child to petition the court if the mother of their child is planning an abortion. The bill states “A person may petition a court with jurisdiction over domestic relations matters to request an injunction to prohibit a woman who is pregnant with the person’s unborn child from obtaining an abortion.”The petition would then be served to the woman and a hearing date set where both the parties can present evidence of their case.
