The Freedom from Coercion Act (House Bill 3301) by pro-life Rep. Susan Lynn (R-Mt. Juliet) and Senate Bill 3812 by pro-life Sen. Jack Johnson (R-Franklin)would:

• Force abortion facilities to prominently post non-coercion policies;
• Impose penalties against facilities which do not comply;
• Reassure vulnerable women and girls that help and support are available.

Too many women and girls face intense pressure and threats of abandonment or abuse if they refuse to 'choose' abortion.

Stop Coerced Abortions in Tennessee!
