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. The constitutional amendment is scheduled to be heard by the Tennessee House of Representatives on Monday, May 18, 2009.  Now is the time to contact your state Representative and ask for his or her support of SJR 127 without amendments.
