Now they are bullying unwed mothers: [View all]

A Tennessee woman is having to travel to Virginia for prenatal care because the DR in her area has denied her care on the grounds that she's an unwed mother.

Tennessee has passed a law to allow DRs to discriminate against anyone so long as DRs claim it's about "religious beliefs."
