TN Right to Life Press Statement


Governor Lee Signs Underage
Abortion Trafficking Act
NASHVILLE, May 28, 2024 - Tennessee Right to Life would like to thank Governor Lee for signing into law HB1895/SB1971, the Underage Abortion Trafficking Act. Tennesseans are fortunate to have a Governor who supports the rights of parents to protect their daughters and be involved in their wellbeing.

The measure passed overwhelmingly in the House and Senate this session and will make it a crime for any adult to recruit, harbor or transport a minor to abort a child or to obtain abortion chemicals for her without the consent of her parents.

As the sponsors of the legislation pointed out, this bill is a parental consent bill aimed to protect minors from being taken for invasive surgery or given dangerous abortion chemicals without their parents’ knowledge or consent.

“Passage of the Underage Abortion Trafficking Act is a victory for Tennessee parents and their daughters. This law will go a long way in protecting young girls from predators who want to cover their crimes and from an abortion industry that exploits young girls for profit,” said Tennessee Right to Life lobbyist, Will Brewer.

The importance of this legislation has become even more urgent as the abortion industry is looking for ways to get around the laws in pro-life states like Tennessee. Recently, Planned Parenthood was caught admitting that they facilitate abortion travel for underage girls and those aiding and abetting them, without the knowledge or consent of their parents (see here).

“We are grateful that Governor Lee signed this legislation. Parents have a right to be involved with their daughters’ wellbeing. The abortion industry has no right to keep parents in the dark at a time when their daughters are so vulnerable and could possibly be in danger,” said Stacy Dunn, President of Tennessee Right to Life.

Violation of the law is a Class A misdemeanor with mandatory jail time of 11 months and 29 days. It also creates a civil liability for this action. The law goes into effect July 1, 2024.

VICTORY!

HB1895/SB1971 the UNDERAGE ABORTION TRAFFICKING ACT passed on the House Floor with a vote of 74 Ayes and 24 Noes after a lengthy debate and is now headed Governor Bill Lee's desk for signature.

The Underage Abortion Trafficking Act, HB 1895 sponsored by Representative Jason Zachary (R-Knoxville) SB1971 Senator Paul Rose (R-Lauderdale, Shelby and Tipton) seeks to protect pregnant underage girls and their parents. The proposal would make it unlawful for any adult to recruit, harbor or transport an underage pregnant girl for an abortion procedure or procure abortion chemicals in order to conceal it from her parents or guardian.

Under current Tennessee law, there would be no way to punish this activity.

The importance of this legislation has become even more urgent as the abortion industry has come up with ways to get around the laws in pro-life states like Tennessee. Recently, Planned Parenthood was caught admitting that they assist underage girls (or adults associated with them) to skirt state laws and transport pregnant girls without the knowledge or consent of their parents.

Although aborting children is a crime under most circumstances in Tennessee, that is not the case in neighboring states like Illinois and Virginia. The abortion industry is funneling minor girls into these states for surgical or chemical procedures without their parents’ knowledge.

As amended, this would make it a crime of unlawful abortion trafficking of a minor, a Class A misdemeanor with mandatory jail time of 11 months and 29 days.

Parents have a right to be involved with their daughters' wellbeing. The abortion industry has no right to transport or obtain dangerous chemicals for underage girls while keeping their parents in the dark.

HB 1895, the Underage Abortion Trafficking Act (see explanation below), passed the House Health Committee on 2/21/24 and was referred to the House Finance, Ways and Means Subcommittee because there is a fiscal note attached to it.

In order to avoid the large fiscal note that would make passage of this bill more difficult, the bill sponsor, Representative Jason Zachary, will present an amendment in the subcommittee to change the punishment for violation of the Underage Abortion Trafficking Act from a felony with possible jail time, to a misdemeanor with mandatory jail time of 11 months and 29 days.
