In the wake of the one-year anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade<\/em>, one abortion business in Tennessee is doing its best to instill fear by insinuating that the well-being of all pregnant women is in danger, simply because they are no longer legally able to kill their children in the state.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood of Tennessee and North Mississippi issued the warning, offering the idea that because the state has a law that protects nearly all preborn children from abortion, women should avoid it altogether.<\/p>\n

“One year ago, Tennessee faced an instant health emergency for pregnant people, when we became a forced birth state. It is more dangerous and more deadly to be pregnant in Tennessee. If you’re pregnant, you shouldn’t travel here and if you live here, you might have to travel out of state for life-saving care,” said<\/a> Ashley Coffield, the Planned Parenthood of Tennessee and North Mississippi CEO.<\/p>\n

Coffield also decried the fact that the state’s law does not include exceptions for cases of rape and incest. “This is a burden on everyone and raises real questions like, ‘How much do I control my own life, compared to the government or to a lawmaker who barely understands my biology, my values my family?'” she said. “The reality of abortion bans is far more devastating and inhumane than many people really understood a year ago.”<\/p>\n
