Tennessee

Status of Abortion:

Legal

for mothers

Illegal

for abortionists

Tennessee’s trigger law went into effect following the overturn of Roe. The law (Tenn. Code § 39-15-213) makes performing an abortion a class C felony for the abortionist. The law exempts mothers who perform their own abortions from any criminal liability: “This section does not subject the pregnant woman upon whom an abortion is performed or attempted to criminal conviction or penalty.” Tennessee women can still order abortion pills online and perform their own abortions without any possibility of legal ramifications.
