Iowa's heartbeat abortion ban officially takes effect, thousands of babies likely to be savedMore than 2,000 preborn babies could be saved from abortion every year in Iowa now that the state's heartbeat law finally took effect today in a victory for the right to life.
The law, which Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed in July 2023, bans abortion once a baby's heartbeat can be detected, which is as early as five weeks of pregnancy. The governor had signed a similar heartbeat ban in 2018, but the Iowa Supreme Court failed to uphold it in a deadlocked 3-3 ruling on procedural grounds last year, and it never took effect. However, the court ruled in favor of the new heartbeat law in a 4-3 decision this month in a victory for pro-lifers. Last week, Iowa District Judge Jeffrey Farrell ordered that the law take effect today at 8 a.m. Central time, LifeSiteNews reported. The Iowa Supreme Court, which has a 7-0 Republican majority, had declared in 2022 that Iowa's Constitution does not include a "fundamental right" to abortion, reversing an earlier pro-abortion precedent. Unlike some states that have enacted pro-life protections, Iowa does not allow initiated constitutional amendments that could overturn its heartbeat ban.
