Iowa Abortion Providers Dismiss Lawsuit Against State Law
News summary

Iowa abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood and the ACLU of Iowa, have dismissed their lawsuit against the state's new strict abortion law, which prohibits most abortions after approximately six weeks of pregnancy. This decision follows a ruling by the Iowa Supreme Court affirming that there is no constitutional right to abortion in Iowa. The law, which took effect on July 29, limits access significantly compared to the previous allowance of abortions up to 20 weeks. Planned Parenthood's president stated that continuing the lawsuit would not improve access to care, and the organization will focus on providing abortion services within the new constraints while assisting those needing to travel to other states for care. The dismissal marks the end of a year-long legal battle after the law was passed by Republican lawmakers amid heightened restrictions on abortion access across the country since the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
