Brad Little, attorney general and the state's board of medicine, claiming the state's ban has "sown confusion, fear and chaos among the medical community, resulting in grave harms to pregnant patients whose health and safety hang in the balance across the state," according to a copy of the lawsuit shared with ABC News.

Three women in Tennessee -- Nicole Blackmon, Allyson Phillips and Kaitlyn Dulon -- and abortion providers filed a suit against the state, attorney general and the state board of medical examiners, claiming they and others were denied "necessary and potentially life-saving medical care" because physicians "fear the penalties imposed by that ban," according to the lawsuit.
