Stop HJR 7: Protect Families and Freedom in Tennessee

Act Now

Tennessee lawmakers are considering HJR 7, a bill that would grant legal rights to embryos at fertilization, opening the door to significant government overreach into personal medical decisions. If passed, this measure would jeopardize access to IVF, contraception, and other essential reproductive health care — making it harder for Tennessee families to have children and for doctors to provide care.

HJR 7 would:

Threaten access to IVF by creating legal uncertainty, putting clinics at risk of closure and making it harder for families struggling with infertility to have children.
Open the door to restrictions on contraception, including birth control methods that prevent fertilization or implantation.
Expose Tennessee to costly lawsuits and legal challenges, forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for extreme government overreach into private medical decisions.

Tennesseans believe in limited government and personal freedom — but this bill gives the government unprecedented control over medical decisions that should be left to individuals, families, and their doctors.

In Alabama, a similar legal ruling led to IVF clinics shutting down, leaving families desperate and without options. Tennessee cannot afford to make the same mistake.

HJR 7 creates uncertainty, invites government interference into private health care decisions, and makes it harder for families to build their futures. Urge lawmakers to reject this extreme overreach.

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.
