Due to Tennessee’s abortion ban, Mayron Hollis was forced to continue a pregnancy that threatened her life. An emergency delivery left her without a uterus and her baby with medical issues.

This was their first year in a post-Roe state (pub. Feb. 2024):

She Was Denied an Abortion After Roe Fell. This Is a Year in Her Family’s Life.

Tennessee law prohibits women from having abortions in nearly all circumstances. But once the babies are here, the state provides little help. We followed one family as they struggled to make it.

Tennessee coach Josh Heupel on the wild SEC parity this season: That’s what our game is now. This league is the top of the food chain, and everybody can go patch their rosters every offseason. There are no holes now. Guy goes down, everybody’s got another guy. Just how it is.
