Going forward we will work together to pass legislation that will protect life, support new mothers, and promote strong families in Iowa." Iowa Democratic Party Chair Rita Hart: 'Iowans can breathe a sigh of relief' "We feel strongly that the Heartbeat Bill is a good piece of legislation that would save the innocent lives of unborn children. "I’m extremely disappointed in the Supreme Court’s opinion today," Grassley, R-New Hartford, said in a statement. We will work with Governor Reynolds and the House to advance pro-life policies to protect the unborn." House Speaker Pat Grassley: 'I'm extremely disappointed' "Senate Republicans have a consistent record of defending life, including the passage of the Heartbeat Bill. Their decision a year ago, correctly overturning the 2018 decision, should reasonably be considered a substantial change in the law and the injunction should have been lifted," Whitver, R-Grimes, said in a statement. "I disagree with the Supreme Court’s opinion today. We are reviewing our options in preparation for continuing the fight." Senate Majority Leader Jack Whitver: We will work 'to advance pro-life policies to protect the unborn' "There is no right more sacred than life, and nothing more worthy of our strongest defense than the innocent unborn. "But the fight is not over," Reynolds added. There is no fundamental right to abortion and any law restricting it should be reviewed on a rational basis standard - a fact acknowledged today by three of the justices. Still, without an affirmative decision, there is no justice for the unborn." "Not only does it disregard Iowa voters who elected representatives willing to stand up for the rights of unborn children, but it has sided with a single judge in a single county who struck down Iowa’s legislation based on principles that now have been flat-out rejected by the U.S. "To say that today’s lack of action by the Iowa Supreme Court is a disappointment is an understatement," Reynolds, a Republican, said in a statement.
Kim Reynolds: 'We are reviewing our options in preparation for continuing the fight' Here's what Iowa politicians are saying about the Supreme Court decision. The court's 3-3 decision affirms the order of a district court judge, which declined to lift the injunction on the five-year-old law and allow it to take effect.

Supreme Court and Iowa Supreme Court, Reynolds argued the law on abortion had changed and that the 2018 restriction should be reinstated. In the wake of decisions last year limiting abortion protections by the U.S. That law was blocked by the courts in 2018, but never took effect. Kim Reynolds had asked the court to revive the Iowa law, which would ban abortion after about six weeks of pregnancy. The split court decision means abortion remains legal in Iowa through 20 weeks of pregnancy and the so-called fetal heartbeat law will not take effect. Iowa political leaders and activists were quick to weigh in Friday after the Iowa Supreme Court deadlocked in a major abortion case.
