Amendment one which is on the ballot for the November 4th election would allow Tennessee the same rights to regulate abortion as other states. It would not ban abortion as the Supreme Court in Roe vs Wade determined abortion was a constitutionally protected right.
Because of a ruling by the Tennessee Supreme Court in 2000,
Tennessee now boasts a broader right to abortion than that recognized
by the U.S. Constitution. As a result. Tennessee has become an abortion tourism state. Tennessee ranks third in the nation for out-of-state abortions. Amendment one would return Tennessee to the same status as prior to that 2000 ruling. A "yes" vote is a vote to allow reasonable regulation of abortion. A "no" vote is a vote to maintain the status quo and Tennessee's status as an abortion destination.
The bulk of the money to fund the "no on amendment 1" campaign has come from out of state. Planned Parenthood, the nation's premier abortion industry leader, provided the bulk of the money and the "vote no", pro-abortion forces have raised almost twice as much money as the "Yes on One" campaign.
