Tennessee State Republicans have filed a bill that would allow Tennesseans to sue the manufacturers of abortion-inducing medication if a family member uses it to obtain an abortion.
The House sponsor of the latter bill is Rep. Gino Bulso, a Brentwood Republican who also happens to be trial attorney with a successful track record of personal injury suits. The Senate sponsor is Joey Hensley, the Hohenwald Republican physician who was found in 2020 to have violated medical ethics by prescribing opioids to his medical assistant/cousin/romantic partner.
