A new bill headed for a vote by a Tennessee House committee this week targets abortion providers by requiring the state's Department of Health to publish detailed information about doctors on a public website.

Known as H.B. 3308, or the "Life Defense Act of 2012," the bill would not actually level any real "defense" of human embryos. Instead, it would require the Tennessee Department of Health to publish more detailed information about abortions carried out in the state, including the names of doctors who performed them and the hospitals they work with.

It would also require detailed statistics on abortions, including time, date, the woman's medical conditions at the time, the age of the fetus, the type of procedure performed, the location of the procedure, and the woman's age, race and marital status, along with details on how many times she has been pregnant.
