Tennessee Doctors List
Welcome to the list of Doctors in the State of Tennessee who are willing to tie your tubes, regardless of Child Free Status, Marital Status or Family Size, - as long as you are age 21 or older! I created this site as an expansion of the Tubal List going around on Social Media. Here you will find Two different types of Mapping to make it easier for you to find the right doctor for YOU.
The first map is a map to where you can find the doctors office closest to you via either Zip Code or City and State. The double arrow to the right of the find locations button is how you can switch between zip code and city and state. You can use this map to get driving directions to your doctor's office.
The second map is where you can find the doctor's website, phone number, and most importantly, client reviews. These two maps used together will help you to make a fully informed decision on YOUR healthcare and YOUR right to have bodily autonomy. Click on the square button at the top left of the second map and you will be shown a list of the doctor's offices. Click on the square at the top right of the map and you can view a larger map in a new tab.
The third map is an interactive state by state map that links to all of the other state pages here on this site. This will help those of you who live in bordering states where the closest doctor is in another state, then you can click on the neighboring state in order to get the doctor's website, phone number, and client reviews.
I am able to keep this site completely free to use, paid for by the use of my free prescription discount card listed before the first map and also listed right after the third map. Please save the card and share it with all of your friends. Also please share this site with everyone you know!
I am happy to help you in your journey in getting your Tubes Tied!
Tennessee Reproductive Laws
In the landscape of post-Roe America, Tennessee has firmly established itself as one of the most restrictive states for reproductive rights. The legal and political battles of recent years have culminated in a near-total ban on abortion, creating a climate of uncertainty for women and a chilling effect on the medical community. The situation, however, is not static. A complex interplay of legislative adjustments, ongoing court challenges, and fierce debates over the extent of state power continues to define the daily reality of reproductive healthcare in the Volunteer State.
At the heart of Tennessee's reproductive rights struggle is its stringent abortion law, which went into effect following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. This is not a ban that begins at a certain number of weeks; it is a prohibition from the moment of fertilization. The law criminalizes the procedure, placing the burden of legal risk squarely on the shoulders of physicians.
The exceptions to this ban are exceedingly narrow and have been a significant point of contention. An abortion is permissible only to save the life of the pregnant person or to prevent a "serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function." Notably absent from these exceptions are considerations for cases of rape or incest, a point that has drawn considerable criticism. For doctors, the ambiguity of what constitutes a legally defensible "serious risk" has created a landscape of fear and hesitation, where medical decisions are fraught with potential legal peril.
In an attempt to address this very confusion, the Tennessee legislature passed a bill in early 2025 to add "clarifying language" to the existing law. This new language specifies certain medical emergencies—such as an ectopic pregnancy, a molar pregnancy, or severe preeclampsia—that would fall under the exception. Proponents of the measure argued that it provides physicians with a clearer, though not expanded, legal safe harbor when faced with life-threatening complications. However, critics were quick to point out that this clarification does little to change the fundamental reality of the ban. It does not create new exceptions but rather codifies a minimal set of circumstances under which a doctor might avoid prosecution. Furthermore, the legislation explicitly states that a pregnant person's mental health cannot be considered a justification for an abortion, a stipulation that has been widely condemned by medical and mental health professionals.
The human cost of this restrictive environment has not gone unnoticed. A significant legal challenge has been mounted by a group of women who were denied abortions in the state despite facing harrowing and dangerous pregnancy complications. Joined by physicians who argue the law prevents them from providing essential medical care, the lawsuit contends that the state's ban is a violation of the Tennessee Constitution. This legal battle represents a critical front in the fight for reproductive rights, bringing the abstract legal language of the ban into the stark reality of individual lives and medical ethics.
The legislative efforts to control reproductive health have not been confined within Tennessee's borders. In a move that garnered national attention, lawmakers passed a measure that would have made it a criminal offense to help a minor obtain an abortion out of state without parental consent. This so-called "abortion trafficking" law was seen by opponents as a direct assault on the right to travel and an unconstitutional overreach of state authority. In a dramatic turn of events in the summer of 2025, a federal judge issued an injunction, temporarily blocking the law from being enforced. The judge's reasoning was rooted in the First Amendment, asserting that sharing information and counseling someone about legal options in another state is a protected form of speech. This ruling marked a significant, albeit potentially temporary, victory for reproductive rights advocates and set the stage for further legal battles over the state's ability to regulate the interstate activities of its citizens.
While the spotlight has been on abortion, the broader landscape of reproductive healthcare has also been a subject of legislative maneuvering. In a sign of the deep-seated anxiety surrounding these issues, lawmakers have introduced bills aimed at explicitly protecting access to contraception and in-vitro fertilization (IVF). While these services are not currently illegal, the very fact that such protective measures are being considered speaks to a palpable fear that the same legal and ideological frameworks used to ban abortion could one day be turned against other forms of reproductive healthcare.
In conclusion, the state of women's reproductive rights in Tennessee is one of profound restriction and ongoing conflict. A near-total abortion ban, only slightly modified by recent legislative clarifications, has fundamentally altered the healthcare landscape. Yet, the narrative is not one of simple prohibition. It is a story of resistance in the courts, of legal challenges that question the very foundation of the state's authority, and of a continuous and determined push back against a legal framework that many believe has gone too far. For the women of Tennessee, the future of their reproductive autonomy remains uncertain, hanging in the balance of a deeply divided state and a nation still grappling with the consequences of a post-Roe world.
