NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Mike Osborne) -- Tennessee state lawmakers will this week consider four different anti-abortion bills introduced by majority Republicans.
One of those bills would require that fetal remains be buried or cremated following an abortion.
Another measure would essentially give a man veto power over a woman’s abortion simply by claiming paternity.
A third would make abortion illegal as soon a pregnancy can be detected using blood hormone tests. Performing an abortion past that point could cost a doctor between three and 15 years in jail.
