4. I was afraid that would happen. The churches told all their people to vote "Yes" on Amendment 1

in order to "safeguard women's health".

What shocked me was that in our very conservative, very Catholic precincts here, Amendment 1 lost by a good-sized margin.

7. we have some of the most ignorant legislators you can imagine.

5. Cue the legislation then the litigation, to begin!

State laws cannot override the United States Constitution.

11. ....

Wait, why a constitutional amendment? Why can’t the legislature just pass more laws if it wants to?

This amendment was proposed as a reaction to a state Supreme Court case, Planned Parenthood v. Sundquist. in 2000. Before your eyes glaze over, we’ll break it down for you: Essentially, it raised the bar for abortion regulations — it said the legislature could only pass narrow restrictions that explicitly protect the health of a pregnant women. This amendment spells out that there’s no right to an abortion in Tennessee. Both sides agree that it would lead to more regulations on abortion.

The legislature can already pass laws on abortion, and in fact, it has passed new regulations since 2000. But amendment supporters say the legislature is confined by the court’s ruling.

Are the women of that state that STUPID? OR just so "subservient" to those crappy men!

God,. another state I don't want to pass through....

[Tsiyu]

12. Yeah, we're out of here as soon as I save enough for the move

I DON'T trust the voting machines. I know the word around town even from the FOX watching, fundy women was "Vote NO." So who the hell voted for this? It'll be interesting to see the numbers.


I've told my daughter should she become pregnant, she WILL be kidnapped and taken far away from Fetal Rights Land for the duration of her pregnancy.

I'm not risking my child's life just so some horny old white fucker on Viagra can feel all holy about himself.
