Utah has enacted the longest waiting period for abortions in the country after passage of a state measure earlier this year. Women seeking an abortion in Utah must now undergo a face-to-face consultation with a medical practitioner and then wait at least 72 hours. A similar measure imposing a 72-hour waiting period in South Dakota was blocked last year.
