Tennessee has advanced an even more restrictive version of the anti-abortion legislation crafted in Texas, which has successfully evaded legal challenges because of its unusual enforcement mechanism.

The legislation, which lawmakers on the states House Health Subcommittee advanced Tuesday, would completely ban abortion at any stage of pregnancy unless the mothers life or safety is at risk. It now goes to the full House Health Committee for review.

This bill is modeled directly after the legislation passed in Texas last year, the bills sponsor, state Rep. Rebecca Alexander (R), said at Tuesdays committee hearing. Abortions in Texas, she noted, have dropped 60% since the law went into effect in September.

Alexanders version of the bill is even more far-reaching than the law in Texas, which bans abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy. Other than that, the bills are nearly identical and were strategically crafted to avoid federal court challenges. Instead of tasking state officials with enforcing the ban, it deputizes public citizens to do so and incentivizes them with a $10,000 reward if they successfully sue someone for aiding or abetting a person seeking an abortion.
