Tennessee has strict laws about abortion. This means that it is hard for women to get an abortion in Tennessee. Tennessee also has weak safety nets for mothers and children. This means that it is hard for families to get help with things like food and healthcare.

Many people in Tennessee do not have health insurance. This is because Tennessee has not expanded Medicaid, a program that helps low-income people get healthcare. Also, Tennessee's Medicaid program has many problems. For example, many families have lost their coverage because of paperwork issues.
