Yesterday Iowa's Fetal Heartbeat Law which Governor Kim Reynolds signed into law four years ago, was again blocked by a judge.
Polk County judge Celene Gogerty said Iowa courts don’t have an established system for reversing a permanent injunction which is why she ruled against the Governor.
Reynolds promised an immediate appeal to the State's Supreme Court.
“I’m very disappointed in the ruling filed today by the district court, but regardless of the outcome, this case was always going to the Iowa Supreme Court. We will appeal this decision immediately. As the Iowa and US Supreme Courts have made clear, there is no fundamental right to an abortion. The decision of the people’s representatives to protect life should be honored, and I believe the court will ultimately do so. As long as I’m Governor, I will continue to fight for the sanctity of life and for the unborn,” Governor Reynolds said in a statement.
What do you think? Will Iowa's Fetal Heartbeat law be reinstated by State Supreme Court or will a new law have to be passed by the Legislature?
