Tennessee Ban On Abortions Due To Down Syndrome, Race, Sex Partially Upheld By Appeals Court

A Tennessee law banning abortions for a number of reasons, including race, sex, or a prenatal diagnosis of Down Syndrome, has been upheld by an appeals court as litigation against the law continues.

CNN reported that the “6th Circuit Court of Appeals lifted part of a lower court’s preliminary injunction that blocked the law from being enforced, allowing a portion of the law to take effect while the case continues to be litigated between the state and abortion rights groups.”
