- Abortion in Tennessee is illegal from fertilization. The ban took effect on August 25, 2022, thirty days after the Tennessee Attorney General notified the Tennessee Code Commission that Roe v. Wade was overturned on June 24, 2022. There are no exceptions in cases of rape, incest, or maternal health. It is the only state with no direct exception in case of risk to the mother's life; rather, there is an affirmative defense included in the ban, meaning that someone who performs an abortion can be charged with a felony, but they have an opportunity to prove that the procedure was necessary — either to prevent the patient from dying or to prevent serious risk of what the law calls “substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function.” The number of abortion clinics in Tennessee decreased over the years, with 128 in 1982, 33 in 1992, and 7 in 2014. There were 12,373 legal abortions in 2014, and 11,411 in 2015. (en)
