Tennessee demands abortion data from hospitals in ban exceptions case
The Tennessee Attorney General's office has subpoenaed four medical groups in the state for records of abortions performed over the last several years. This is part of a lawsuit over the exceptions to the state's near-total abortion ban. The subpoenas were issued to Vanderbilt University medical center, an Ascension-run Tennessee hospital, and two smaller medical practices. The lawsuit aims to challenge the narrow exceptions to the state's restrictive abortion law, which bans the procedure with few exceptions. The medical groups have been ordered to provide records related to abortions performed during the specified period, as the state seeks to defend its abortion restrictions in court.
