"Tennessee Court Considers Blocking Abortion Ban's Medical Exception Challenge"
A Tennessee court is considering whether to temporarily block the state's abortion ban's narrow medical exception, which is being challenged by the Center for Reproductive Rights. The lawsuit argues that the vague language in the medical exception endangers the lives of pregnant women, citing a case where a woman was denied an abortion despite facing major health complications. The court heard arguments and may decide to dismiss the case or clarify the medical necessity exception, which would allow doctors to provide care without fear of prosecution.
