SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Planned Parenthood filed notice Friday that it is dropping its appeal of a legal provision that requires women seeking abortions in South Dakota to wait three days.
A law passed in 2011 required women in South Dakota to wait 72 hours before they are allowed to end a pregnancy — the longest waiting period in the country — but the provision had been temporarily blocked until the lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood made its way through court.
