Lauren’s faith guides her commitment to valuing life, and her experience supporting survivors of human trafficking has shown her the urgent need for compassionate, practical solutions. Lauren supports repealing the total abortion ban and replacing it with common-sense legislation that protects women in cases such as lethal fetal anomalies, rape, incest, or human trafficking. She also believes elective abortions should not be paid for by taxpayer dollars in Tennessee, per federal law. Her approach balances respect for life with ensuring women have access to safe, necessary medical care.
