Will access to abortion be eliminated in Iowa?FRIDAY, AUGUST 19 11:45 AM - 1:00 PM Plymouth Congregational Church 4126 Ingersoll Ave, Waveland Hall DES MOINES in person and virtual options Our presenter: Mazie Stilwell, Director of Public Affairs - Iowa Planned Parenthood North Central States Planned Parenthood Advocates of Iowa
Iowans recently felt the very real pain inflicted by federal and state courts that have moved significantly to the right. Late in June, protections provided by Roe for nearly 50 decades fell via the Dobbs case, sending decision-making regarding access to abortion care back to the states. Just prior to the release of the Dobbs case, the Iowa Supreme Court upheld Iowa’s 24 hour waiting period, which was passed in 2020 by Republican lawmakers. What does this all mean for Iowans, access to abortion care, and the future of reproductive healthcare more generally in our state?
