Rep. Diane Black op/ed: Yes on 1 the compassionate choice
Amendment 1 will not ban abortion in our state. It will
instead give all Tennesseans a say by empowering our elected
representatives to enact protections for women and unborn children
that were wrongly struck down by unelected justices at the state
Supreme Court. This includes informed-consent laws so that women know
of any health risks associated with their abortion — a requirement
that already exists for most other major surgeries — and regular
inspections of abortion facilities to ensure compliance with health
regulations.
Right now, the lack of proper safety regulations for abortion
procedures has made Tennessee the state with the third-highest
percentage of out-of-state abortions. Amendment 1 is not radical or
extreme — this absurd status quo is. That is why this amendment puts
our laws back in step with our principles and those of our neighboring
states, and trusts that when it comes to decisions regarding life and
abortion, Tennesseans know best.
