Iowa high court rules abortion is not a fundamental right under state constitution

JURIST

Planned Parenthood sued to challenge a 2020 law which requires a 24 hour waiting period before an abortion. After a lower court ruled the law was unconstitutional, Iowa appealed to the state supreme court. The decision overturns a 2018 ruling which held there is a fundamental right to abortion in Iowa.
