Iowa’s Supreme Court tells lower court to let strict abortion law go into effect

The Iowa Supreme Court on Friday said the state’s strict abortion law is legal, telling a lower court to dissolve a temporary block on the law and allowing Iowa to ban most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy — before many women know they are pregnant. The 4-3 ruling is a win for Republican lawmakers, and Iowa joins more than a dozen other states with restrictive abortion laws after the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe vs. Wade in 2022.

The law was in effect for a few days before a district court judge put it on pause, a decision that was appealed. On Friday, Iowa abortion providers said they would continue to operate within the confines of the law. It is not clear when in late July the injunction will be dissolved, but Planned Parenthood North Central States and Emma Goldman Clinic representatives both said they would schedule as many appointments as possible before that point.
