Republican Governor Kim Reynolds supports an attempt by G-O-P legislators to change Iowa’s constitution after the Iowa Supreme Court ruled last year that the document provides women with a fundamental right to an abortion.
A district court judge last month overturned an abortion restriction Reynolds signed into law last May. The law sought to ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat may be detected, around the sixth week of a pregnancy. The governor says the legal team reviewing THAT ruling hasn’t yet decided whether to ask the Iowa Supreme Court to review the lower court’s decision.
