• Conservatives threaten Tennessee's new protections for IVF and birth control (wpln.org) — Brentwood residents should know that their state representative, Gino Bulso, is among conservatives criticizing Tennessee’s new law that protects access to IVF and common birth control methods. The law currently guarantees access statewide, but opponents may try to weaken it when the General Assembly reconvenes in January, leaving future availability of these services potentially up for debate.
