Tenn. works towards anti-choice change in state Constitution
Oh Tennessee...you’re on my shit list today.
The state Senate passed a proposal to amend the Tennessee Constitution so that it no longer guarantees a right to abortion.
...The 24-9 vote was the first step of many toward officially amending the state constitution. The measure would go before voters if the General Assembly approves it twice over the next two years.
"The resolution is an all-out attack on the women of Tennessee and seeks to rob women of their right to make choices about their own health, safety and personal welfare," said Hedy Weinberg, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee.

An attack against the women of Tennessee? Definitely. But unfortunately they’re not alone--the women of America are under attack. Yes, I’m optimistic today.
