Iowa Supreme Court to Hear Appeal on Blocked Abortion Ban

The Iowa Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal by Republican Governor Kim Reynolds over a lower court order that blocked the state's ban on abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. The ban, which Reynolds signed into law earlier this month, was temporarily halted following a legal challenge from Planned Parenthood and other organizations. The new law is similar to a previous ban that was permanently blocked by the state Supreme Court last year. Reynolds and Iowa Republicans are seeking to enact a stricter ban on abortion, while opponents vow to fight for the right to access abortion care.

Iowa Governor Calls Special Session to Enact Stricter Abortion Laws

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds has called for a special legislative session on July 11th to pass new abortion restrictions after a recent defeat at the Iowa Supreme Court. Reynolds, a Republican, aims to enact legislation that protects unborn lives and addresses abortion. Anti-abortion activists and lawmakers have been pushing for a special session since the Supreme Court deadlocked 3-3 on a major abortion case, permanently blocking a 2018 law that would have banned most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy. The type of law Republicans will pursue during the special session is unclear, but Democrats have vowed to fight any new restrictions on abortion.

Iowa Supreme Court Divided on Abortion Ban.

Iowa's Supreme Court deadlocked three to three in a contentious abortion case, leaving in place a lower court ruling blocking a 2018 state law that would prohibit most abortions after the sixth week of pregnancy. Three justices took up their pens to explain their thinking, showing unusually sharp divisions between members of a court that often rules unanimously even on contentious issues. The justices traded barbs over the legal standard for judging abortion laws, whether Iowa should follow the lead of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling known as Dobbs, and why the Legislature has not passed a new law.
