Court rules Tennessee cannot criminalize speech on abortion
Original: “‘the State of # Tennessee cannot criminalize speech about topics the Republican Supermajority and the Attorney General’
A federal court has ruled that Tennessee cannot criminalize speech about topics its Republican supermajority and attorney general deem objectionable, and cannot enforce its abortion ban beyond state lines to regulate lawful conduct elsewhere. The ruling blocks the state from penalizing adults who help minors obtain abortions out of state, drawing attention from reproductive rights advocates and legal observers.
Why now: A new court decision limiting Tennessee's abortion law is being shared amid ongoing national battles over abortion restrictions.
