Tennessee has one of the country's most restrictive abortion bans, but the state faces a lawsuit aiming to partially block it.
A Tennessee woman said that her state's stringent abortion law 'took away' her chance to have children in the future after she was denied the procedure during a distressed pregnancy.Speaking with The Independent, 34-year-old Breanna Cecil said that her fetus was diagnosed with acrania at her first ultrasound appointment in January 2023 after 12 weeks of pregnancy. Acrania is a rare, fatal condition in which the fetus does not have skull bones.
'The state of Tennessee took my fertility from me,' Cecil told The Independent, adding that the state's lawmakers 'took away my opportunity to have a family like my own biological family because of these horrible laws that they put in place.'Cecil's story, which was published on Monday, comes as Tennessee is facing a lawsuit from seven women and two doctors who allege that the state's abortion law violates pregnant patients' right to life.
