TL;DR

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has signed legislation penalizing adults who help minors obtain abortions or gender-affirming care without parental consent, effective July 1. The laws, which are expected to face legal challenges, make Tennessee the second state to enact such abortion-related restrictions and the first to target gender-affirming care in this manner. Critics argue the laws are vague and unconstitutional, while supporters claim they protect parental rights.
