Tennessee Republican files 'abortion trafficking' bill for pregnant minors
tennessean.com

A Tennessee Republican hopes to establish an "abortion trafficking" felony for adults who help pregnant minors get an out-of-state abortion without parental permission, an effort reproductive health advocates argue will run afoul of constitutional rights such as interstate travel.

Rep. Jason Zachary, R-Knoxville, filed House Bill 1895 on Monday. The legislation would establish a new Class C felony, which could carry three to 15 years in prison, for an adult that "recruits, harbors or transports" a pregnant minor for the purposes of receiving an out-of-state abortion or for getting abortion medication.

That's rich. Seems like you're all over this thread whiteknighting for op(not suspicious at all). And you still haven't shown where it explicitly states that they were lied to.

ahaha I'm not whiteknighting for anyone, I'm just pushing back against morons who do not process nuance.
