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.

    I did, like I said I did…

    Because the delete and edit buttons are tiny on a phone and right next to each other…

    But after all the insults you’ve thrown out this morning, I’m just going to block you.

    I was hoping just ignoring and not responding to you would be enough, but apparently it’s not.
