Tennessee: House OK puts abortion measure on 2014 ballot

Tennessee: House OK puts abortion measure on 2014 ballot | timesfreepress.com: State House members today approved a referendum allowing Tennessee voters to decide in 2014 whether the state constitution protects abortion rights. The vote was 76-18 to approve Senate Joint Resolution 127, which is intended to nullify a 2000 Tennessee Supreme Court ruling and give state lawmakers the ability to impose some restrictions on abortions allowable under federal rulings.
