Iowa has asked the state Supreme Court 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. The law that bans most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy was in effect for a few days in July, after Iowa Gov.
Iowa ns supporting access to abortion rally on Thursday, April 11, 2024, outside the courthouse in Des Moines, Iowa , where the Iowa Supreme Court heard arguments on the state’s restrictive abortion law. The law that bans most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy is on hold as the courts assess its constitutionality.
Iowa’s high court has not yet resolved whether earlier rulings that applied an “undue burden test” for abortion laws remain in effect. The undue burden is an intermediate level of scrutiny that requires laws do not create a significant obstacle to abortion. The state argues the law should be analyzed using rational basis review, the lowest level of scrutiny to judge legal challenges. Representing the state, Eric Wessan said it’s important “after years of litigation” that Iowa’s high court say that definitively in their decision.
