Abortion Clinic Sign Proposal Goes to TN Gov

Legislation that would require abortion clinics in Tennessee to post anti-coercion signs is headed to the Gov. Phil Bredesen for his consideration. Under current law, any type of coercion to have an abortion is prohibited. But sponsors say some women may not know that and the sign spells out what's in the law. The legislation would require clinics to post signs that read in part: "It is against the law for anyone, regardless of the person's relationship to you, to coerce you into having or to force you to have an abortion." Facilities that don't comply could be fined as much as $2,500. WRCB
