Tennessee asks Supreme Court to put hold on ruling that state's abortion waiting period is unconstitutional
Fox News
Tennessee is asking the Supreme Court to put a hold on a lower-court ruling that the state's two-day waiting period for women seeking an abortion is unconstitutional, even though it's been in effect for years and other states have similar waiting periods.
The main thrust of the case is still at the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. But Tennessee is asking the Supreme Court to let it enforce its law as the litigation makes its way through the courts. "As long as the waiting period remains enjoined, some unborn children will be aborted who might otherwise be spared that fate," Tennessee wrote in its emergency request, filed earlier this week. "Some women will choose abortion without making an 'informed and deliberate' decision... and some will later come to regret that irreversible decision."More Related News
