Last night at a town hall in Jonesborough, Tennessee, a woman shared her story: she was denied prenatal care by her OB-GYN because the doctor objected to the fact that she isn’t married. She’s been with her partner for 15 years and has a 13-year-old son.

The doctor told her that because she was unwed, they didn’t feel comfortable treating her because it went against their “Christian values.”

Now, she’s traveling out of state to Virginia to receive prenatal care.
