SB600 prohibits local governments from expending funds for the purposes of assisting a person in obtaining a criminal abortion.
The Tennessee State House or Representatives passed SB600 on March 30, 2023 by a vote of 65 to 23. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because states should continue to act to ban abortion and guarantee the right to life for all persons. The right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and protected by the 5th and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Taxpayer dollars at any level of government should not be used to kill babies.
