Women cheer during a rally for abortion rights on Tuesday, May 21, 2019, at the Iowa State Capitol in Des Moines. (CNN)An Iowa law requiring women to wait 24 hours before getting an abortion was permanently blocked by a district judge on Monday.
District Judge Mitchell E. Turner ruled the law was unconstitutional because it violated a 2018 decision by the Iowa Supreme Court that protects abortion rights. The law is also unconstitutional, Turner ruled, because the state legislature violated the Iowa Constitution s single-subject rule when it included the measure with another unrelated bill. Turner also canceled a trial for the case that was set to take place in January 2022.
