• That assertion has nothing to do with the legal standing of a waiting period for abortion.
• that article is not from a reliable source. "Issues in Law and Medicine" is a biased journal that does not represent scientific consensus. They have close connections with anti choice organizations and also publish antivax propaganda. I would be extremely skeptical of any information found in association with them.

Note the articles about "abortion causing breast cancer" (it doesn't), "how to run a pro choice private practice", and why pharmacists should be able to refuse to dispense medication.
