The following statement can be attributed to Planned Parenthood North Central States and the ACLU of Iowa.

"We are pleased that the Court has declined the Governor's radical proposal to immediately revisit its 24-hour decision and eliminate the right to safe and legal abortion in Iowa. Nearly one in four American women have an abortion at some point in their lives, for a variety of deeply personal reasons. The majority of Iowans support their right to do so, and we will continue to fight to preserve it going forward."
