*** URGENT ***
Tennessee lawmakers have passed a bill banning abortion as early as
six weeks of pregnancy. This new ban comes just two months after
Tennessee unsuccessfully attempted to ban abortion procedures under
the guise of COVID-19 precautions.
Dear friend,
We're taking Tennessee to court again.
In the middle of the night and behind closed doors, Tennessee
politicians passed a bill banning abortion as early as six weeks of
pregnancy. Within hours, we challenged the law alongside our partners
at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Planned Parenthood
Federation of America, and the ACLU of Tennessee.
If Governor Bill Lee signs this bill into law, it will take effect
instantly. Our emergency lawsuit asks the court to block the bill as
soon as the Governor's pen hits the paper.
We need your support as we challenge this outrageous ban in Tennessee
and similar bans in other states.

The new bill also prevents patients from obtaining an abortion
depending on their reason for seeking the procedure, including the
potential for a Down syndrome diagnosis or the sex or race of the
fetus. These types of "reason bans" insinuate that pregnant people
cannot be trusted to make their own medical decisions, and do nothing
to address racism, sexism, ableism, or the serious health disparities
faced by marginalized communities.
We wish we were suprised by Tennessee's blatant disregard for abortion
rights, but the truth is, this was expected. We are already engaged in
litigation challenging the state's 48-hour waiting period with Planned
Parenthood, and Tennessee has several other abortion restrictions on
the books.
As we look toward all the work ahead, we know we can count on
you to fight with us. Give now to help us keep fighting and it will be
MATCHED 3X.
