Deleted Audio Reveals Plot to Repeal Tennessee IVF and Contraception Protections "God looks abhorrently upon those who shed innocent blood. And I'm afraid that we have just codified doing that."

Tennessee passed legal protections for IVF this year, but according to this deleted audio, Republicans have a plan to overturn the law next year “swiftly” wellsrachelm.substack.com/p/deleted-au...

Dems are apparently "looking for a platform" when the answer is right there: Stop running away from thing that actually help people.

Food, housing, healthcare, no genocides, everyone's rights and bodily autonomy protected, a livable world, and all of those things viciously, deftly defended, always.

If it’s not tied down it’s for sale. That was Bill Haslam’s major contribution to the state.
