Tennessee defends abortion reversal law in legal challenge

Associated Press  

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A Tennessee law requiring doctors to inform women that drug-induced abortions may be reversed is critical for women who may change their minds halfway through the procedure, the state’s top legal chief said. Last month, abortion rights groups filed a lawsuit arguing the newly approved statute violated several constitutional rights because it not only illegally singled out abortion patients and physicians who provide the procedure, but also forced doctors to relay a “controversial government-mandated message.” The complaint specifically seeks to block the law before it goes into effect on Oct. 1 as the groups pursue their legal battle. Court documents show that Dunavant, from Erin, Tennessee, began searching online for options and ran across the “Abortion Pill Rescue hotline” — which eventually instructed her to connect with a doctor and get a prescription for progesterone. “I am actually pro-choice, and I think the requirement that abortion providers tell mothers that they may be able to reverse the abortion procedure if they don’t take the second pill gives women more options,” Dunavant wrote. These same groups are also involved in the initial lawsuit challenging a separate statute that bans abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected — about six weeks into pregnancy, before many women know they’re pregnant.
