Blackmon v. State

Docket number
23-1196-IV(I)
Date

Plaintiffs who allege they were denied, or received delayed, medically necessary abortion care due to doctors’ confusion regarding the scope of the medical necessity exception in the state’s abortion ban challenge that exception as violating their state constitutional rights to life and equal protection and as unconstitutionally vague. A Tennessee trial court held the plaintiffs were likely to succeed on the merits as to each challenge, at least with respect to certain maternal medical conditions the parties agreed fall within the exception, and granted temporary relief declaring the exception to include those conditions.
