The court battle over Florida's abortion waiting period has been ongoing since state legislators passed House Bill 633 in 2015, requiring women to wait 24 hours after meeting with their doctor before having an abortion. Then, last year, Leon County Circuit Judge Terry Lewis ruled the abortion waiting period was unconstitutional due to its intrusion upon state privacy rights. Yesterday a Florida appeals court ruled that Lewis erred in his decision that a waiting period was unconstitutional, raising concerns about informed consent standard of care. For now, the 24-hour abortion waiting period is still blocked. If the waiting period goes into effect, however, it will be another restrictive hurdle between women and their reproductive health.

Anti-abortion activists have said they hope to prompt the conservative-majority U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the Roe v. Wade ruling by enacting laws that are assured of facing court challenges.
