Resolution passed with overwhelming bi-partisan support. Who will be the first to call it extreme? From the Tennessean:
A proposal to change the Tennessee Constitution to allow the state to impose stricter limits on abortion has passed both chambers of the General Assembly but still has hurdles to cross before going to voters, lawmakers say.
The resolution, which passed the Senate in March, was approved 76-22 by House members Monday.
The measure — which says “nothing in this Constitution secures or protects a right to abortion or requires the funding of an abortion” — seeks to change the document to void a Supreme Court ruling in 2000 on abortion restrictions.
