SKBubba has the latest on a proposed Tennessee constitutional amendment:

''Nothing in this constitution secures or protects a right to abortion or the funding thereof; except the legislature shall have the authority to make such exceptions as the legislature deems necessary, including the authority to make exceptions in the case of rape or incest or to save the life of the mother.''

SK adds:

At least the founding fathers had the foresight to make it pretty hard to change the Tennessee Constitution. An amendment has to pass both the House and Senate, not once, but twice in consecutive General Assemblies before being put on the ballot for the voters to decide in the next general election for Governor. That means that the issue can't be put to the voters until at least 2010, and the women of Tennessee are without protection from being forced to have abortions by liberal judges until then.
