Tennessee Governor Pushes Bill to Ban Abortions After Baby’s Heart Begins Beating
State   Micaiah Bilger   Jan 23, 2020   |   4:24PM    Nashville, Tennessee

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee hopes to join a growing list of states that are trying to protect unborn babies from abortion once their heartbeats are detectable.

On Thursday, the Republican governor outlined his pro-life priorities for the new legislative session, including the heartbeat measure and a ban on sex-selection abortions, WSMV News 4 reports.

“I believe that every human life is precious, and we have a responsibility to protect it,” Lee said. “Today, Tennessee is taking a monumental step in celebrating, cherishing, and defending life at every stage. I’m grateful to be joined by so many leaders in our state who are boldly standing up for our most vulnerable.”

The legislation has not been introduced yet, but Lee described a comprehensive pro-life bill that would include a prohibition on abortions once an unborn baby’s heartbeat is detectable, about six weeks of pregnancy; a requirement that mothers undergo an ultrasound prior to the abortion; and a ban on discriminatory abortions based on the unborn baby’s sex, race or disability, according to the report.

The governor’s office said they plan to model the legislation after a 2019 Missouri law that created a “ladder” of abortion bans that would go into effect in the case of an almost certain legal challenge.
