The Tennessee Conservative [By Olivia Lupia] –
With the 2025 legislative session mere weeks away, bills are already being filed to secure their position for the earliest possible consideration, and one such bill aims to enact strong protections for life in the womb.
Rep. Gino Bulso (R- Dist. 61-Brentwood) has officially filed House Bill 0026 (HB0026), entitled the Unborn Child Protection Act of 2025 which, if passed, will reaffirm, “Human life begins at fertilization,” and that, “An unborn child is entitled to the full and equal protection of the laws that prohibit violence against any other person.”
The bill is based on already existing federal laws banning the mailing of or receiving in the mail abortion pills, and states, “a manufacturer, distributor, seller, or reseller, of an abortion-inducing drug shall not mail or deliver an abortion-inducing drug into this state.” Consequences for violations of this law that result in the death of an unborn child would cause the responsible entity to be liable for damages in the amount of $5,000,000.
Bulso, who has been previously extolled by The Tennessee Conservative for his commitment to conservative values, will be filing other pieces of impactful legislation this session including his TRUMP Act, designed to combat illegal immigration in the state through an unprecedented multi-pronged approach.
The Unborn Child Protection Act will be assigned to a committee after session begins where it will be discussed, amendments can be proposed, and ultimately passed up to the full House or killed depending on the committee vote. The same process will need to be repeated in the Senate, though no senate sponsor is yet listed on the bill.
Once the bill has been placed into a committee, citizens may begin contacting those committee members to express their thoughts. The Tennessee Conservative will continue to monitor and report on the progress of this powerful bill and encourages our readers to be proactive in contacting legislators to promote its passage.

Good! See if lucifer’s committee RINOs kill it.
I disagree with the claim that life begins at fertilization. That’s a religious view, not a scientific view. What’s next – banning birth control?
This is waiving a Red Flag in the face of a lot of moderates and is what stopped the Red Wave in 2022.
We can’t count on the Dems always being as pathetic as this year.
Gino and anyone sponsoring this will lose votes over this.
He already has the Catholic vote.
I voted for Gino, donated and had a sign in my yard, but an extremist abortion bill would cause me to stop that. It will lose Republicans votes.
