AG Raoul Leads Coalition Urging Court to Block Tennessee Law Criminalizing Assistance to Youth for Out of State Abortion Care

Published Date: Apr 11, 2025

AG Kwame Raoul led a coalition of 20 attorneys general in filing an amicus brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit in a lawsuit challenging a restrictive Tennessee law making it a crime for adults to help minors seek reproductive health care outside of Tennessee due to that state’s near-total abortion ban. In the amicus brief, Raoul and the coalition argue that Tennessee’s law not only endangers the health of minors from Tennessee but also threatens the ability of other states’ medical providers and residents to help them access lawful abortion care outside of Tennessee’s borders. Tennessee bans abortion in nearly all cases, with no exceptions for survivors of rape or incest.
