MICAH 6:8 MINISTRY from Sandy Schefcik
Did You Knowthat a lawsuit brought by an independent owner-operator of
abortion facilities in Bristol, Nashville and Memphis seeks to strike down several
statutes passed as a result of Amendment 1's approval including informed
consent and a 48-hour waiting period for women and girls considering abortion,
and heightened inspection and licensing standards for abortion facilities? Also
challenged is the requirement that abortion providers hold admitting privileges at
a local hospital. At present, the informed consent, waiting period and admitting
privileges laws are all uniformly enforced and are saving lives across the state.
Tennessee Right to Life is optimistic that Amendment 1 will stand and that the
challenged pro-life protections will also be upheld. However, similar provisions
enacted by Texas were struck down last summer by the U.S. Supreme Court
in Whole Woman's Health v Hellerstedt. And even if Supreme Court nominee
Gorsuch proves to be a reliable pro-life vote, it is a vote short from a pro-life
majority on the high court. With all these factors in mind, Tennessee Right to Life
has deep concerns about abortion bans proposed this year at the state
Legislature. Such bills cannot currently be enforced as constitutional and may
unintentionally provide a hostile court with the opportunity to re-affirm the wrong
holdings of Roe v. Wade. Such laws may also serve to influence the outcome of
pro-abortion lawsuits against the Amendment and current protective laws.
