STOP ATTACKS ON ESSENTIAL ABORTION MEDICATIONS

Act Now

State policymakers are advancing SB 194/HB 26, a dangerous bill that would criminalize the mailing of safe, FDA-approved abortion medications — pushing essential healthcare even further out of reach. Medication abortion pills like mifepristone and misoprostol are safe and effective, but this legislation seeks to punish healthcare providers and restrict reproductive freedom. If passed, this legislation will further criminalize reproductive healthcare in the state.

We must stop this harmful bill before it advances further.

SB 194/HB 26 would:

Criminalize the mailing of FDA-approved abortion medications, such as mifepristone and misoprostol
Impose fines up to $5 million for those providing care
Undermine legal protections for doctors assisting patients

This bill is extreme government overreach — an attempt to track down and punish out-of-state doctors who serve Tennessee patients. It does nothing to improve healthcare access but instead burdens providers and could result in costly legal battles, wasting taxpayer resources while failing to address real healthcare challenges.

Instead of protecting Tennesseans’ freedoms, lawmakers are pushing extreme policies that punish both patients and providers. This legislation is just another step in the ongoing attack on reproductive rights.

More information on this bill can be found at our Legislative Action Center.

Tennesseans deserve policies that expand healthcare access, not extremist measures that criminalize safe, effective medical care. Urge lawmakers to reject SB 194/HB 26 today!

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate Salutation

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
