DES MOINES – The Iowa Legislature passed an abortion ban in a special session last week, but a court immediately reacted to a lawsuit and froze the bill temporarily, sending Kim Reynolds into deep despair.
Gov. Reynolds Statement on the Injunction of the Heartbeat Law:
Gov. Reynolds released the following statement in response to the Polk County District Court’s decision today to issue a temporary injunction on the Heartbeat Law at the request of abortion providers.
“In their own words, the abortion industry stressed the need for a temporary injunction so they could continue with 200 scheduled abortions in the next two weeks. While Life was protected for a few days, now even more innocent babies will be lost.”
“The abortion industry’s attempt to thwart the will of Iowans and the voices of their elected representatives continues today, but I will fight this all the way to the Iowa Supreme Court where we expect a decision that will finally provide justice for the unborn.”
The case will be adjudicated in court.
