Celebs react to Tennessee's Heartbeat Bill
BREAKING: Tennessee just passed a ban on abortion. We're suing with the Center for Reproductive Rights and Planned Parenthood.
Abortion is a right. If states didn't learn their lesson last year when we blocked seven bans, we will remind them again in court.

In the "early hours of the morning, police officers kept the public out of the Capitol building and arrested some protestors" while this group of Republican Tennessee State Senators hastily pushed through a “heartbeat bill” attempting to ban abortion after 6 weeks of pregnancy. pic.twitter.com/DHXIQAFGvz

The state of Tennessee is trying to take away women‘s rights in the middle of the night while we sleep. There are no exceptions for rape or incest- and the bill also denies underage girls who are in the custody of Dept of Child Services who’ve been raped the option of an abortion https://t.co/kQfPGYLTGu
