NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A federal appeals court will listen to arguments over whether to uphold a 48-hour waiting period for women seeking abortions in Tennessee.
The court is scheduled to listen to the arguments on Wednesday.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated the waiting period earlier this year amid a lengthy battle challenging a 2015 Tennessee law that required women to make two trips to an abortion clinic.

A lower federal court previously struck the law down last year.

When the whole world is sympathising with the plight of the common man in India, which is facing the ravages of Covid-19, it is baffling that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has asserted that a dangerous coronavirus strain affecting children originated in Singapore and that flights from the Republic need to be stopped.
