Debates Over Abortion Legislation Across US States

News summary

Montana's Legislature is considering a controversial 'abortion trafficking' bill that criminalizes transporting a fetus for abortion, aiming to assert fetal personhood and challenge states where abortion remains legal. Meanwhile, Tennessee lawmakers are debating measures related to reproductive rights; one bill aims to protect health coverage for pregnant employees after termination, reflecting concerns over job security in a state with strict abortion bans. Another Tennessee proposal seeks to allow abortions in cases of fatal fetal anomalies, highlighting conflicts within the state's abortion ban. In West Virginia, a bill aiming to remove rape and incest exceptions for abortion is under consideration, marking the third attempt to introduce such legislation. Additionally, Montana recently tabled a bill that would have restricted medication abortions, citing unsubstantiated environmental concerns. These legislative efforts reflect ongoing national debates over reproductive rights and access to abortion services.
