An Iowa law that bans abortion as early as six weeks of pregnancy will go into effect Monday, July 29, at 8 a.m.
A district court judge filed a motion Tuesday to dissolve the temporary injunction next week.
This was following an Iowa Supreme Court decision last month that found the law, which bans abortion when cardiac activity is detected, can go into effect. The Court ruled that the abortion ban is constitutional and that an injunction blocking its enforcement should be dissolved. That started a three-week period for the lawsuit to make its way back to a lower court, but Planned Parenthood and the ACLU of Iowa’s request to reconsider the ruling made that take longer.
On Monday, the Iowa Supreme Court denied abortion providers’ request to reconsider its decision to uphold a law and sent the case to the Polk County District Court, where Judge Jeffrey Farrell was ordered to let the abortion ban take effect.
