NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which gave people the constitutional right to an abortion, leaders in Nashville began racing to work around Tennessee’s abortion ban. With less than a month to get something passed before the ban goes into effect, two Metro Council city leaders are hoping to implement changes.
“As Council, as a body, we are saying that we stand with our community, that we stand firm by woman’s right to choose, and individuals’ right to choose, and that we are not going to just stand here and take it. We are going to do everything that we can, we are going to look for every creative solution to make sure that we’re addressing this. This has to be addressed at every level of government,” said Delishia Porterfield, who represents District 29 on the Metro Nashville Council.
Hours after the Supreme Court ruling, Councilwoman Porterfield introduced a resolution, that focused on protecting those who may want to have an abortion. In her resolution, she outlines how the city should move forward, including asking the Metro Nashville Police Department to make abortion investigations, its “lowest priority.”
“We don’t want anyone to fear that MNPD will investigate them, or even any allegations of someone going to get an abortion. MNPD has a lot on their plate, there are a lot of many priorities in this city that they can focus on, and we want to make sure that women’s healthcare is not the business of our police department,” explained Porterfield.

In all reality, police departments weren’t likely to prioritize abortions over all else, so all of these noisy declarations are just for show to the brainwashed.
Not many people are aware that Nashville long ago became the Hollywood of the south. Liberalism rules in the formerly Conservative country music capital. And, a great many “country stars” are as Leftist as anyone in Hollywood.
Liberalism metastasizes like cancer. Nashville and country music is not immune. Just look at NASCAR as another example.
The fact this is even news and the city council is even talking about it has to make one wonder why it even came up.
How bad is illegal abortion going to be there? Are they behind it? Think about it.
This is exactly how the left operates. They play by the rules only so long as they get their way. They violate all rules of the civil, orderly society the instant they can’t get what they want. This is why it is becoming completely impossible to negotiate anything with them. Compromise is foolish, as they will quickly take any political ground granted to them, then ignore the compromise to seize more. You cannot negotiate in good faith with children.

This is the issue. Why can’t they just address the issue appropriately? Because, pro-death.
