Author: WBIR Staff Updated: 10:48 PM EDT April 23, 2021 TENNESSEE, USA People who need an abortion will have to wait 48 hours in Tennessee starting Friday, after a decision from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. The decision went into effect immediately, according to a release from officials. A federal court struck down the waiting period law in October 2020, and the state s appeal of that decision is still pending. The Sixth Circuit Court decided Friday to suspend the federal court s decision while the appeal remains pending. A three-judge panel of the appellate court also previously denied the state s request in February.

April 24, 2021 - 1:44 PM NASHVILLE - A federal appeals court has reinstated a 48-hour waiting period for women seeking abortions in Tennessee as the state appeals a judge s ruling in the case. The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued its ruling Friday in a case that stems from a challenge to a 2015 law in Tennessee that required women to make two trips to an abortion clinic — first for mandatory counselling and then for the abortion at least 48 hours later. Directors of Tennessee abortion clinics testified at a 2019 trial that the two-visit requirement posed logistical challenges that caused abortions to be delayed far beyond the 48 hours required by law. The delay pushed some women beyond the time when they could have medication abortions, which have lower risks of complications than surgical abortions. A few women were pushed beyond the time when they could receive an abortion altogether.
