Iowa’s Supreme Court has overruled a 2018 decision protecting abortion access under the state’s constitution, opening the door for more abortion restrictions in the state as the US Supreme Court prepares for its likely decision to overturn federal protections for abortion care.
A decision from the state’s highest court on 17 June reverses a lower court ruling to block a 24-hour waiting period before an abortion can be performed, arguing that the ruling from just four years ago that affirmed a constitutional right to abortion care “insufficiently recognizes that future human lives are at stake”.
The ruling from the court – now composed almost entirely of Republican appointees – means anti-abortion legislators no longer must contend with the state’s constitutional protections for abortion care, which could have remained in place even if the Supreme Court does undermine Roe.
Friday’s decision sends a case challenging the waiting period law back to a lower court.

I'm going to hate to say this but let the states do as they wish. It may not be right to some but it's right to others. Small government means each state does as it wishes. I'm not for or against abortion. I'm a man I've got no skin the game. I've got no plans to have kids. Don't plan to marry. But be it this or gun rights we can't do anything without freaking the majority out who care about each issue individually.
