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.
