A Tennessee Republican hopes to establish an “abortion trafficking” felony for adults who help pregnant minors get an out-of-state abortion without parental permission, an effort reproductive health advocates argue will run afoul of constitutional rights such as interstate travel.

Rep. Jason Zachary, R-Knoxville, filed House Bill 1895 on Monday. The legislation would establish a new Class C felony, which could carry three to 15 years in prison, for an adult that “recruits, harbors or transports” a pregnant minor for the purposes of receiving an out-of-state abortion or for getting abortion medication.

    No, the leaders of the South told the citizens of the South that was going to happen, and that they were on the side of “state rights”…

    Because that would get the most people to fight for them in a Civil War…

    When the two sides are saying two different things, why are you choosing to believe the traitors word over Lincolns?

    He explicitly said in in his inauguration speech that he wasn’t going to outlaw slavery, and he kept saying it until the Civil War was halfway over…

    Why do you believe conservative lies from over a century ago?

      Because I believe the south’s word because it’s the truth: The war was about Slavery, which is why they wanted to secede from the union. They wanted to keep human bondage till the end of time.

      Thank god we won, I just wish we killed more of them, though.
