The Tennessee legislature introduced a bill on Monday that targets adults who take minors out of the state to have an abortion.

The bill says that an adult who “recruits, harbors, or transports a pregnant unemancipated minor within this state for the purpose of” aiding them in getting access to actions that constitute “criminal abortion” under Tennessee law “commits the offense of abortion trafficking of a minor,” despite where the action occurs.

It also notes that it would not be a viable “defense to a prosecution” if the minor consented to actions.
