Tennessee House passes bill calling for monument for unborn children

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee House has passed a bill that calls for a monument to unborn children to be placed on the state capitol grounds.

If passed by the Senate and signed into law, private funds would be raised for a monument to victims of abortion.

The House passed it by a vote of 63-15 this week following a brief debate that got so heated that Speaker Beth Harwell had to demand order.

The bill was sponsored by Rep. Jerry Sexton, a Republican from Bean Station.

While ignoring the needs of those that are.

It's a special TN GOP homage to the AK GOP "bridge to nowhere".

It's not as if it is a big secret or anything.

And they should also know the feeling is mutual.
