Rep. Aftyn Behn on Lower Broad, April 10, 2024

Rep. Aftyn Behn (D-Nashville) and abortion fund member and attorney Rachel Welty on Monday brought a lawsuit against the district attorneys general for Middle Tennessee districts, alleging that a state law passed earlier this year infringes upon the First Amendment right of free speech.

The district attorneys general include Glenn Funk in Davidson County, as well as Bryant C. Dunaway, Jason Lawson, Jennings H. Jones, Robert J. Carter, Ray Whitley, Robert J. Nash, Stacey Edmonson, Brent Cooper, Ray Crouch and Hans Schwendimann.
