Today, August 25, Tennessee Right to Life and pro-life Tennesseans are celebrating three years of the Human Life Protection Act being in effect. The law was passed in 2019 in anticipation of the overturning of Roe v Wade, saying that if/when Roe was overturned then Tennessee’s pre 1973 protections would be restored, and aborting children would once again be against the law. On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court did just that in the Dobbs decision and returned the responsibility of protecting unborn children back to the states. Tennessee was ready and the law took effect August 25, 2022.
“Before the Human Life Protection Act, more than 1,000 children were aborted in Tennessee every month. Since August 25, 2022, that is no longer the case. No longer are babies being aborted here by the tens of thousands each year. No longer are women being exploited for profit. And no longer is the abortion industry making big money from the deaths of children in our state. That is something to celebrate,” said Stacy Dunn, Tennessee Right to Life President.
Dunn continued, “Tennessee has one of the strongest pro-life laws in the nation. There are children alive today because of the Human Life Protection Act, and we are grateful to our legislators who have worked to keep it that way.”
Will Brewer, Legal Counsel/Director of Government Relations for Tennessee Right to Life, says the organization is proud of the work that took place leading up to the Human Life Protection Act and since then, “Tennessee continues to be a beacon of pro-life values to other states around the country. Since 2022, we have successfully defended efforts to weaken our Human Life Protection Act, banned the trafficking of children to obtain abortions without parental consent, prohibited local governments from spending tax dollars on abortion initiatives. Finally, Tennessee has also tangibly supported mothers and babies through the Strong Families program, which allocates $20 million annually to pregnancy resource centers and provides free diapers for up to two years through Tenncare.”
Dunn admits that there is still work to be done, “The past 3 years have only been the beginning. After nearly 50 years of living under the tragedy of Roe, we cannot stop now. The free flow of unregulated and unsafe abortion drugs into Tennessee is not only killing unborn children, it is a real threat to the lives and health of girls and women. Tennessee Right to Life will continue to work with legislators to address the illegal distribution of abortion pills in our state while also informing Tennesseans of the very real danger and harmful effects of these drugs. Pro-life Tennesseans know how difficult this work for life can be, but we also know that it is well worth the time and effort. We are not finished.”

We all know who helped out with this one.
No more replacing citizens with Illegals
I’m old so I don’t care, but how is American society going to deal with all these kids from dis-functional and non-existent families.
Kids educated by Democrats?
Nazi Germany, Chinese communists, and Russian
autocrats come to mind.
“...I don’t care”
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Your attitude is a big problem.
PRAISE GOD!!
PRAISE THE LORD!!
More Treyvons, yea! I guess
I can’t fix stupid!
I tried and failed.
You know what the definition of insanity is?
“doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result”
Y’all can not fix stupid.
More than half of all people are stupid!
Praise God!
Here's a person who helped as much as he could:
Brian Harris, former president of Tennessee Right to Life, has died
A true champion for the unborn gone too soon at 57. Thank you, Brian.
