Abortions up in Iowa as key policy rulings loom
Cedar Rapids Gazette: The number of abortions in Iowa increased 24% in 2019, the most recent year for which state public health data is available. It’s a jump that critics attribute to the state’s decision to withdraw from a federally funded family planning program. There were 3,542 abortions provided in Iowa in 2019, according to state data. With a potential amendment to the state constitution and a looming key case in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, the future of abortion services in Iowa is uncertain.
