Tenn. waiting period law reduced abortion rate by 6 percent, study finds
(Worthy News) – A Tennessee law that mandates a 48-hour waiting period on an abortion led to a 6 percent decrease in abortions performed in the state, according to a new study.
The law, which was signed by then Governor Bill Haslam in 2015, is currently the subject of a legal challenge. Arguments in the suit were held last month before U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman, who is expected to rule soon.
Titled “New evidence on the effects of mandatory waiting periods for abortion” and published last month, it was authored by Jason M. Lindo and Mayra Pineda-Torres of Texas A&M University. [ Source: Christian Post (Read More…) ]
