Reynolds filed to challenge the injunction last year as well, but a state judge ruled that state law didn’t give her the power to dissolve the permanent injunction and let the new abortion law take effect. Wade, and the Iowa Supreme Court that found woman have no constitutional right to abortion, the Iowa judge should reverse the 2019 decision blocking the abortion law. Reynolds argued that because of decisions in 2022 by the U.S. However, in June 2022, the Iowa Supreme Court reversed the decision saying the court wrongly decided abortion is among the fundamental privacy rights guaranteed by the Iowa Constitution and federal law.

#IOWA FETAL HEARTBEAT BILL TRIAL#
That law was enacted in 2018 to protect unborn lives by prohibiting elective abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, which is usually around six weeks into pregnancy and is often before many women know they’re pregnant.īack in 2019, a state trial court put the fetal heartbeat law on hold based on an Iowa Supreme Court case that had found a state constitutional right to an abortion. Going forward we will work together to pass legislation that will protect life, support new mothers, and promote strong families in Iowa.(ABC 6 News) – Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds and attorneys at Alliance Defending Freedom representing the Governor, asked the Iowa Supreme Court on Monday to allow the state’s fetal heartbeat law to take effect. A controversial law in Iowa that sought to ban women from getting abortions after a fetal heartbeat was detected has been ruled unconstitutional by a state judge. We feel strongly that the Heartbeat Bill is a good piece of legislation that would save the innocent lives of unborn children. “I’m extremely disappointed in the Supreme Court’s opinion today. We will work with Governor Reynolds and the House to advance pro-life policies to protect the unborn.” Senate Republicans have a consistent record of defending life, including the passage of the Heartbeat Bill. Their decision a year ago, correctly overturning the 2018 decision, should reasonably be considered a substantial change in the law and the injunction should have been lifted. “I disagree with the Supreme Court’s opinion today. We are reviewing our options in preparation for continuing the fight.” There is no right more sacred than life, and nothing more worthy of our strongest defense than the innocent unborn. Kim Reynolds signed the country’s most restrictive abortion law Friday afternoon, banning most abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected. Still, without an affirmative decision, there is no justice for the unborn. There is no fundamental right to abortion and any law restricting it should be reviewed on a rational basis standard – a fact acknowledged today by three of the justices. Not only does it disregard Iowa voters who elected representatives willing to stand up for the rights of unborn children, but it has sided with a single judge in a single county who struck down Iowa’s legislation based on principles that now have been flat-out rejected by the U.S. “To say that today’s lack of action by the Iowa Supreme Court is a disappointment is an understatement. Governor Reynolds, Senate Majority Leader Whitver, and Speaker of the House Grassley issued the following statements.
Today, the Iowa Supreme Court failed to exercise its authority to review the Fetal Heartbeat case, leaving the injunction in place.
