Take Action Against Anti-Choice SJR 127



The rightwing effort to eliminate abortion rights in Tennessee will be coming up for a vote in a House subcommittee any time now. The proposed constitutional amendment that seeks to remove the state's guarantee to abortion rights will first land in the hands of the Public Health and Family Assistance subcommittee.

Planned Parenthood of Middle and East Tennessee has a one-stop action page to help you send an email to tell the members of this committee to:
