The Tennessee Infants Protection Act (House Bill 1189 sponsored by Rep. Matthew Hill) seeks to:
-
Require viability assessment beginning at the 20th week of pregnancy to measure gestational age, weight, or other factors to determine viability of the unborn child;
-
Define viability in state law as "the state of fetal development when the unborn child is capable of sustained survival outside of the womb, with or without medical assistance;"
-
Establish presumption in state law that an unborn child of at least 24 weeks gestation (LMP) is viable and must be protected by law;
-
Recognize current U.S. Supreme Court doctrine to avoid an untimely legal challenge; and,
-
Mirror 2011 Ohio statute which is in effect and has never been challenged.
The House Health Committee will hear the Pro-life bill at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, March 28 in Room 16 of Legislative Plaza.
