The article highlights the hypocrisy within the anti-abortion movement in Tennessee, where lawmakers advocate for unborn children but neglect the needs of born children, particularly immigrants. After the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Tennessee enacted strict abortion bans with severe penalties. Meanwhile, recent legislation allows schools to check students' immigration status, potentially denying undocumented children access to education. This maneuver turns schools into de facto immigration enforcement centers, contradicting the constitutional protections established by the Supreme Court in Plyler v Doe, which forbids denying education to undocumented children.
The unborn are a convenient group of people to advocate for; they never make demands of you, allow you to feel good without real relationships.
In Tennessee, lawmakers are strict about unborn children but indifferent when it comes to the born, especially if they are immigrants, reflecting a hypocrisy.
The GOP-dominated state senate's approval of a bill allowing schools to check students' immigration status is a step towards turning safe spaces into enforcement centers.
In 1982, the supreme court's Plyler v Doe decision confirmed that states cannot deny undocumented children an education, highlighting the unconstitutional nature of current proposals.
