The Tennessee Freedom Circle, an activist group formed in the wake of the Supreme Court's landmark Dobbs decision, is organizing around the Aug. 25 anniversary by educating voters about the state's abortion ban and IVF policy.

This past Sunday marked two years since Tennessee banned abortions, except to prevent serous injury or death in the mother. After the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, states now decide their own abortion laws.

Kentucky Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear decried "extremism" in state abortion bans during a Nashville event on reproductive rights on Friday, pointing to a lack of rape and incest exceptions in Kentucky and Tennessee law as Republicans have effectively banned nearly all abortions in both states.

“Imagine somebody violated by a person in their family, somebody who is supposed to keep them safe,” Beshear said to a crowd at the Tennessee Justice Center in Nashville Friday evening.
