(Des Moines, IA) — Governor Kim Reynolds says the U-S Supreme Court is on the brink of overturning the ruling that legalized abortion — but she warns banning the procedure in Iowa requires a complex set of moves. The U-S Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling this summer on a Mississippi law that bars abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Reynolds cautions Iowa cannot adopt a similar law here under current conditions. She’s asking the court to overturn a 2018 ruling that said women have a right to an abortion under Iowa’s constitution. Reynolds also is backing a proposed constitutional amendment that says the state’s constitution does not guarantee abortion rights.
