Abortion - As introduced, clarifies that the term "abortion," as defined for the offense of criminal abortion, does not include the use of contraceptives, including any device, medication, biological product, or procedure that is generally intended for use in the prevention of pregnancy, whether specifically intended to prevent pregnancy or for other health needs, or the disposal of embryos resulting from fertility treatments, including healthcare services, procedures, testing, medications, treatments, or products. - Amends TCA Title 37; Title 39; Title 63 and Title 68.

SB 3 clarifies that the legal definition of "abortion" in Tennessee criminal law does not include contraceptives (like birth control pills, devices, or procedures meant to prevent pregnancy) or the disposal of unimplanted embryos from fertility treatments (such as IVF). The bill amends Tennessee Code sections 37, 39, 63, and 68 to explicitly exclude these items from the term "abortion" as used in criminal statutes. This change directly affects how Tennessee’s criminal abortion laws apply, ensuring contraceptives and fertility treatment procedures are not classified as illegal abortion under current law. The bill focuses solely on defining existing legal terms, not creating new restrictions or policies.
