Thank you for taking a stand for LIFE. Legislators have been overwhelmed by the number of emails and calls to their offices in defense of Tennessee’s strong pro-life laws. 

 

You are making a difference!

 

This is such a critical time to remain engaged with the task at hand – keeping the Human Life Protection Act strong and saving unborn children in our state. Thank you for being part of this life-saving effort.

 

Please continue to be alert and ready to take action as things are changing almost hourly on Capitol Hill. Please see the chart below for what happened this week and watch for action alerts as these bills move through the legislative process. Remember that each bill must pass through committees and then a full vote in both the House and the Senate before going to the Governor for his signature.

 

There is still a lot of work to do. Stay tuned.
