A Tennessee House panel has advanced a bill<\/a> that would make it illegal for an adult to help a minor travel out of state for an abortion without parental consent.<\/p>\n

If enacted, the bill would prohibit the recruiting, harboring, or transporting of a pregnant minor by an adult without consent from the minor’s parents or guardians. This could include providing the minor with any assistance, from information on how to get the abortion to physically transporting the minor.<\/p>\n

“This bill is simply a parental rights bill,” said Rep. Jason Zachary, who is the bill’s sponsor. The bill would also protect child victims of sexual abuse from forced abortions and further sexual abuse at the hands of their abuser.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood was recently caught<\/a> on camera by Project Veritas (PV), showing its willingness to assist an undercover investigator posing as a man attempting to bring a 13-year-old girl across state lines to undergo an abortion without her parents’ knowledge. The PV undercover investigation took place in Missouri, where the state law<\/a> says 13-year-olds can never consent to sex or abortions. Planned Parenthood has a history<\/a> of assisting sexual abusers.<\/p>\n
