How would a “partial” overturn work?

I assume that it means allowing something like a heartbeat bill without explicitly overturning Roe.

It's also worth saying that this law does not allow the prosecution of post-abortive women only the "doctors".

In the Tennessee Senate Summer Session, the proposed heartbeat bill has been reworked as a conception bill (think Alabama, not Georgia).  It will be using the 9th Amendment to challenge Roe v. Wade.  Voting on it will not occur until the legislature reopens in January, but leadership appears to be on board with this and not worried about the legal concerns they had with the previous incarnation of a heartbeat bill.

TN passed a trigger bill in 2019 to completely ban abortion when Roe is overturned instead.
