"Just because you pass a law doesn't mean it's immutable and it's never going to be changed."

Tennessee state Sen. Richard Briggs, who is fighting to undo some of the abortion-related legislation that he helped put in place. When he co-sponsored legislation to enact some of the nation’s strictest abortion restrictions five years ago, he never thought it would actually be implemented. This is Briggs’ second attempt to amend his previous work. A similar effort last year did repeal some of the harshest restrictions in the 2019 law. (NPR — Feb. 1, 2024)
