Amends Tennessee abortion laws to allow abortions if necessary to prevent serious risk of irreversible bodily harm or if a lethal fetal anomaly is.
The bill amends Tennessee abortion laws to allow abortions if a physician determines it necessary to prevent the death of the pregnant woman or serious risk of irreversible bodily harm. It also allows abortions if a lethal fetal anomaly is diagnosed before the 24th week of pregnancy, provided certain conditions are met. The bill defines "lethal fetal anomaly" as a condition incompatible with life outside the womb, unimprovable by medical intervention, and resulting in fetal death shortly after birth. The changes take effect upon becoming law.
