Now is the time to speak up and act in defense of Life
The November election is quickly approaching and with it will be an opportunity for Tennessee voters to stand up for the dignity of human life. On the ballot will be a constitutional amendment that will restore the state's ability to enact common-sense regulations for the abortion industry.
 
Those working hard for the adoption of Amendment 1 need your vote and your help. It is an effort that has been wholeheartedly endorsed by the three Catholic bishops of Tennessee: Bishop David Choby of Nashville, Bishop Terry Steib of Memphis and Bishop Richard Stika of Knoxville.
 
Bishop Stika called the upcoming vote "neither a Republican nor Democrat issue, but a moral and life issue of the greatest magnitude."
 
"Our culture is truly schizophrenic on the topic of the worthwhileness, the dignity, of the human person," Bishop Choby wrote in a letter to the people of the Diocese of Nashville (see page 3). "We offer great efforts and make great sacrifices to respond to the vulnerability of a person struggling with disease. Yet, at the same time, we see an unplanned pregnancy as an obstacle to personal fulfillment. It makes no sense.
 
"Neither does it make sense to have numerous and elaborate safeguards to every other medical procedure and not for abortions," he added.
 
This fight began in 2000, when the Tennessee Supreme Court found that the state Constitution includes a fundamental right to abortion. The decision stripped away several common sense regulations of the abortion industry and made the few regulations still on the books vulnerable to future legal challenges.
 
The only way to restore the right of the state - representing the will of the people - to enact common sense regulations was to pass an amendment to the Tennessee Constitution. After years of battles in the state Legislature, the amendment has finally found its way onto the ballot in the Nov. 4 election.
 
The amendment states: "Nothing in this Constitution secures or protects a right to abortion or requires the funding of an abortion. The people retain the right through their elected state representatives and state senators to enact, amend, or repeal statutes regarding abortion, including, but not limited to, circumstances of pregnancy resulting from rape or incest or when necessary to save the life of the mother."
