Senate Democrats slam Gov. Lee’s unconstitutional anti-abortion law as ‘election year pandering’

NASHVILLE — ​The Senate Democratic Caucus issued a statement ​today after Gov. Bill Lee ​signed into law the most restrictive, anti-abortion measure in the nation.

“Women should be able to choose when they are ready to start a family without any interference from the governor and radical politicians in the state legislature. Instead, Gov. Bill Lee has signed a dangerous law that places his office between a woman, her doctor and her family. This is election year ​pandering at its worst and, on top of that, an unconstitutional waste of taxpayer resources to attack a woman’s right to making a private healthcare decision.”
