A Tennessee court considers blocking enforcement of the state's abortion ban in cases of dangerous pregnancy complications, due to concerns over a vague medical exception.

Tennessee court considers blocking enforcement of state's near-total abortion ban in cases of dangerous pregnancy complications amid concerns over vague medical exception. Seven women denied abortions due to complications and two doctors challenge the ban, arguing the medical exception is too narrow and vague, discouraging physicians from providing emergency care. Tennessee's near-total abortion ban took effect in August 2022, following US Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade. The state legislature later added an explicit medical exemption in August 2023.
