We cannot allow generations of Tennessee farming families to become casualties of Washington’s trade wars. Our farmers deserve better than uncertainty. They deserve better than being treated as collateral damage.

It’s time we put Tennessee farmers first.

Amber Nicole Thurman, Josseli Barnica, Nevaeh Crain, Candi Miller, Porsha Ngumezi, Ciji Graham, Tierra Walker. These are documented cases of women who died after being denied emergency obstetric care in states with near-total abortion bans since 2022. Their conditions were not elective. Ectopic pregnancies, where a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, cannot survive and will kill the mother if untreated. Septic miscarriages, where retained fetal tissue becomes infected, require immediate surgical removal or the infection spreads to the bloodstream. These procedures are classified as abortions under state law. Doctors afraid of prosecution waited. Women died. A ProPublica analysis found Texas's sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations rose over 50% after its ban took effect. At least 120 in-hospital deaths of pregnant or postpartum women were recorded in Texas in 2022 and 2023 alone.

Kyleigh Thurman was handed a pamphlet and told to "let nature take its course." She returned three days later still bleeding. Her fallopian tube had ruptured. She lost part of her reproductive system. Kelsie Norris-De La Cruz was turned away by three separate doctors before finding treatment. Neither woman had sought an abortion. Neither had a choice. The CDC and most state health departments are not investigating deaths linked to abortion ban delays. Nobody is counting. The women are still dying.
