(Washington, DC) — Friday’s US Supreme Court decision on the landmark Roe-V-Wade case doesn’t change Iowa state laws. Abortions are still legal in this state. What the six-to-three ruling does is open the door for the Iowa Legislature to pass additional restrictions on the procedure. The justices determined the 1973 ruling on abortions was wrong when it established a constitutional right to abortions. The individual states will now have the authority to determine what is legal and what isn’t. Iowa already has restrictions in place – abortions here are forbidden after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
