Blackmon, the woman at the center of a legal challenge to Tennesee’s abortion laws, told The Independent that she plans to get tubal ligation given her “very traumatic” experience. “I would say I’ve done more sterilization procedures in the last two years than I’ve done in my entire career,” said Dr Laura Andreson, an OBGYN in Franklin, Tennessee. Conservatives in Alabama, Idaho, and Tennessee are pushing so-called “abortion trafficking” laws, which would prosecute those assisting pregnant women to travel across state lines to obtain abortions. The judge explained: “It is generally men who promote and defend laws like the LIFE Act, the effect of which is to require only women — and, given the socio-economic and demographic evidence presented at trial, primarily poor women, which means in Georgia primarily black and brown women — to engage in compulsory labor, i.e., the carrying of a pregnancy to term at the government’s behest.” The abortion rights victory in the swing state may only be fleeting.
