The Iowa Supreme Court overruled a 2018 decision that shielded abortion under the state's constitution, a move that removes guardrails from lawmakers who seek to ban future abortions in the state.

The decision on Friday stemmed from a lawsuit filed by abortion providers who challenged a 2020 law that required a full day waiting period before a woman could get an abortion. Judge Mitchell E. Turner previously struck down the law and cited the state high court’s 2018 ruling.In its 2018 ruling, the state Supreme Court said that “autonomy and dominion over one’s body go to the very heart of what it means to be free.

Republicans in control of Iowa's statehouse are pressing to pass a constitutional amendment to ban abortion in the state. If that happens, a final decision will rely on voters to ratify any amendment to the state constitution.
