Iowa Supreme Court says abortion protections not guaranteed under state constitution

[Free Vulcan]

The Iowa Supreme Court on Friday overruled a 2018 decision that said the right to abortion was protected under the state constitution.

Friday's decision — coupled with the potential overturn by the U.S. Supreme Court of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that established a nationwide right to abortion — would give Iowa lawmakers significantly more freedom to pass and enforce restrictive abortion laws.

The Iowa Supreme Court's fractured decision came in deciding a new legal challenge over a 2020 law that put in place a 24-hour waiting period before an abortion.

Abortionists and abortuaries relied on Roe, and are now scrambling in some states to change several states' laws and/or constitutions. If the Pro-Abortion people hadn't relied on Roe trumping Iowa state law and instead done the work of changing Iowa's constitution they would not be losing this case. I'm not supporting abortion or sympathizing with abortionists and abortuaries, just pointing out Pro-Abortion people's arrogance and lack of foresight.

No you are right. Ruth Bader Ginsburg saw the same thing.
