Death Penalty Bill Shows Fracture in Tennessee’s ‘Pro-Life’ Movement
NASHVILLE BANNER
Last week, a crowd of loud, mostly male anti-abortion activists from Tennessee and surrounding states stuffed the hallway of Tennessee’s Cordell Hull legislative building, singing and protesting after a controversial anti-abortion bill failed to even receive a motion in the Population Health Subcommittee.
The loudest voices were from diehard anti-abortion activists from groups like End Abortion Now and the Foundation to Abolish Abortion, who urged its passage. Other anti-abortion organizations, such as Tennessee Right to Life, actively campaigned against the bill.
