Iowa Supreme Court rules abortion protections not promised under state constitution | Eastern NC Now

The Iowa Supreme Court overruled a 2018 decision that shielded abortion under the state's constitution, a move that removes guardrails from lawmakers who seek to ban future abortions in the state.

"All we hold today is that the Iowa Constitution is not the source of a fundamental right to an abortion necessitating a strict scrutiny standard of review for regulations affecting that right," the court ruled .

Iowa's Supreme Court, whose justices are all Republican appointees, concluded that the 2018 court wrongly decided abortion is a fundamental privacy right guaranteed by state and federal law.
