Iowa asks state Supreme Court to let its restrictive abortion law go into effect

Associated Press  

DES MOINES, Iowa — Iowa asked the state Supreme Court on Thursday to let its blocked abortion law go into effect and uphold it altogether, disputing abortion providers’ claims it infringes on women’s rights to exercise bodily autonomy. Most Republican-led states have limited abortion access following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, and 14 states have near total bans at all stages of pregnancy. Iowa’s high court has not yet resolved whether earlier rulings that applied an “undue burden test” for abortion laws remain in effect. Wessan referenced the Iowa Supreme Court’s 2022 reversal in his arguments to show the bench already indicated what’s appropriate in this case when they ruled there’s no “fundamental right” to abortion in the state constitution.
