Nashville, Tenn., Dec 12, 2018 / 16:38 pm
As Tennessee has seen an increase in pro-life legislation in recent years, the only abortion clinic in Nashville temporarily ceased its abortion services last week.
According to the Associated Press, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood of Tennessee and North Mississippi, Tereva Parham, confirmed Dec. 10 that abortion provision had been suspended the week prior.
The time-frame of the suspension has not been provided.
Parham said the clinic is "undergoing a period of quality improvement" and added that part of the reason for the suspension is a lack of abortion providers.
