Governor Kim Reynolds announced last night that the State will not be appealing a lower court's decision regarding the Heartbeat Bill which would have banned abortion in the State after a baby's heartbeat had been detected.
"...everything changed last June, when the Iowa Supreme Court struck down our 72-hour waiting period after concluding that the Iowa Constitution provides a right to an abortion and imposes strict scrutiny on all our abortion laws. I think the Iowa Supreme Court got it wrong. But after this decision and because of Planned Parenthood’s legal maneuverings, I see no path to successfully appeal the district court’s decision or to get this lawsuit before the U.S. Supreme Court," the Statement read.
