Abortion restrictions and a lack of DEI were the primary reasons why Tennessee was considered 'the worst state'.

Well, I guess that's what you can expect from Axios.

So the criteria used were intentionally selected to make red states look worse.

These Best- and Worst-type lists are almost always perverted by using wacky leftwing criteria — diversity, LGBT crapola, homeless shelters, etc.

The title is inaccurate. They tried to find the worst state for transgenders, not the worst state for the average person.

[Per NBC] Tennessee has the worst quality of life in the country - meaning it's not Commie-friendly.

I'm down with that.

If it keeps leftists from wanting to move to those states than I say they are doing a good thing here.

LOL. Do they know the number of people from other states - states high on their list - that have moved to Tennessee over the past decade? I don’t live in Tennessee but know a lot of people who do. Its one of the best states in terms of cost of living, climate, taxes, etc. I guess the Californians and retirees who are moving in don’t care about DEI and abortion.

Well, I guess that’s why so many are moving there. Cause it’s soooooo bad.
Typical total leftist lies. Either the publishers are outright purposefully skewing their “conclusions”, or are truly unthinking zombies.

Is going out of state for one day to get an abortion too exhausting for leftists?

Remember this is an opinion with an agenda. We all know about opinions and we know that everything can be skewed to meet that opinion. It all boils down to shaping the public perception yet it rarely works with an informed public.
