Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signs law requiring parental consent for minors' abortion or gender-affirming care assistance.

Tennessee's Governor, Bill Lee, has signed legislation that prohibits adults from assisting minors in obtaining an abortion or gender-affirming care without parental consent. The new law, which comes into effect later this year, is expected to face legal challenges. Lee, a Republican, has previously implemented restrictions on gender-affirming care for young people and supported Tennessee's near-total ban on abortion.
