Abortion providers, along with Planned Parenthood and the ACLU, sued the state, alleging that the law was too vague. Center for Reproductive Rights' president and CEO Nancy Northup insisted that "These bans are just another way anti-abortion politicians are attempting to limit the constitutional right to abortion care and to create stigma. Decisions about whether and when to continue or to end a pregnancy are best made by the individual and their family."

Separately, an injunction remains in place against another portion of the legislation banning abortions performed after six weeks.

After the court's decision, the abortion providers immediately applied for a temporary restraining order, claiming, "Plaintiffs urgently need relief from this Court to ensure that their patients are not forced to continue their pregnancies against their will." This sentiment pits women against their children, inappropriately using language of "force" that runs contrary to the powerful, biological bond that naturally exists between women and their children, both born and preborn.

Tennessee's Attorney General's Office, on the other hand, celebrated Friday's ruling, noting in an emailed statement, "We appreciate the Sixth Circuit lifting the lower court's injunction. We look forward to defending the statute in a more normal process. We don't think the statute is unconstitutional and the extraordinary relief of an injunction was not warranted." The statement continued, "Every life is precious and every child has inherent human dignity. Our law prohibits abortion based on the race, gender or diagnosis of Down syndrome of the child and the court's decision will save lives. Protecting our most vulnerable Tennesseans is worth the fight."

Live Action News recently reported on an article in The Atlantic raising awareness about the eugenic practice of aborting children because of a Down Syndrome diagnosis, both in the United States and abroad. The Atlantic piece mentioned the widespread ableist mentality that views a person's value or worth in terms of what they can physically contribute or do. The author queried, "Jobs and college are achievements worth celebrating—like any kid's milestones, but I've wondered why we so often need to point to achievements for evidence that the lives of people with Down syndrome are meaningful."
