Iowa Supreme Court

The state asked the Iowa Supreme Court Thursday to let Iowa’s law that bans abortions as early as six weeks of pregnancy take effect, as lawyers for abortion providers argued the law is unconstitutional and must be permanently blocked.

Chief Justice Susan Christensen says a lack of pay increases has resulted in fewer attorneys applying for open seats on the bench.

The head of a conservative law firm argued before the Iowa Supreme Court Thursday that the Democratic state auditor violated the public records law by refusing to release certain emails.

The court affirmed the hate crime conviction of a man who posted hand-written notes at homes with rainbow flags and emblems.

Abortion is still legal in Iowa a year after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the nationwide right to terminate a pregnancy. But just like this time last year, it’s not clear how long that will last. An Iowa Supreme Court order this month left only one thing certain—Republican lawmakers will try again to restrict abortion.

The Iowa Supreme Court ruled that Gov. Kim Reynolds and her former communications director can be dismissed from a wrongful termination lawsuit brought by a former state Department of Public Health employee, who alleges she was forced to resign for fulfilling journalists' public information requests.

The Iowa Supreme Court has declined to reinstate a six-week abortion ban, which means abortion remains legal in Iowa up to 20 weeks of pregnancy.

The Iowa Supreme Court will determine whether or not most abortions can be banned around six weeks of pregnancy. Abortion is currently legal in Iowa up to 20 weeks of pregnancy.
