Tennessee's state Senate is attempting to build a monument with the inscription Tennessee Monument to Unborn Children, In Memory of the Victims of Abortion: Babies, Women, and Men. The statue will be placed on the grounds of the State Capitol.


In a vote of 23-3, the Republican led state Senate passed a bill requiring the Capital to "develop and implement a plan for the commissioning of the Tennessee Monument to Unborn Children."

The bill was sponsored by Rep. Jerry Sexton and Sen. Steve Southerland and will be funded by undisclosed non-state resources. Rep. Bill Dunn (R) likened the statue memorializing those murdered in the Holocaust, saying:

Both of these monuments that are already here recognize the atrocities occurred because human beings were treated as less than human. In both cases, the vulnerable and defenseless were subjected to the will of the powerful. The taking of life of the baby in the womb is related to this brand of inhumanity.

Dunn went on to add that the statue wasn't only for fetuses it would also honor:

...women coerced into abortions, the fathers who can't protect their unborn child, the brothers and sisters who lose a sibling and the society as a whole who becomes coarsened because life is cheapened.

This monument isn't the first memorial Tennessee has elected to place for the "victims" of abortion. In 1994 The National Memorial for the Unborn was erected in Chattanooga.


People had some strong reactions.








This suggestions was given for Planned Parenthood.


Or perhaps this suggestion.


Many were concerned about the money being spent.



Unfortunately this tweet is true.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
