Appeals Court Upholds Tennessee’s Ban on Race, Sex & Disability Abortions

(Headline USA) A federal appeals court ruled Friday that Tennessee can begin outlawing abortions because of a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome, as well as prohibit the procedure if it’s based on the race or sex of the fetus.

Tennessee Republican Gov. Bill Lee enacted the so-called “reason bans” earlier this year as part of a sweeping anti-abortion measure.

  1. Oh, Thank God!

    This is the camel’s nose under the tent. If the left uses that tactic to ban our rights, then we need to use the same to protect the precious innocent.

    Keep it up!
