In a matter of life and death,

shouldn’t every Tennessean

have a say?

Because of a radical ruling by the Tennessee Supreme Court in 2000, Tennessee now boasts a more “fundamental” right to abortion than that recognized by Roe v. Wade or the Federal Constitution. Consequently, basic commonsense protections such as a 48 hour waiting period, informed consent for women considering abortions, a hospitalization requirement for second trimester abortions, and the regulation of abortion facilities in our state have all been struck down as violating the newly discovered “right to abortion” in the Tennessee Constitution.

Your help is needed…

If you think that such protective laws are appropriate or if you think that the voters—not four judges—should decide such questions, your state legislators need to hear from you right now.

SJR127is a Senate Joint Resolution which would allow a statewide public vote on the question of abortion and tax payer funding in Tennessee. It passed the state senate in January by a vote of 24-9. Now, it must pass by a simple majority in the state House.

Unfortunately, pro-abortion leaders have assigned the resolution to a “killer committee” called Public Health and Family Assistance sub-committee. Unless pro-life Tennesseans speak immediately, SJR 127 will die a quiet death without any debate or public vote.

Let the People Vote!

Support SJR 127!

Please contact your state representative and urge him or her to support SJR 127. Regardless of their position on legal abortion, ask them to give every Tennessean a vote on this important matter.
