The metrology/logistics of ultrasound is at issue. What is not at issue is using a conservative stethoscope standard while they figure out the ultrasound in court. The law puts the health of the mother first and that includes mental health. The left is freaking because Libertarians worked with the Right to pass a bill that doesn't violate Roe.

What's at issue is the right to an abortion. Regarding "the law put the health of the mother first" - prove it. Because my reading of the law says that you are 180° in the wrong. Here's the change to the law: https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/BillBook?ga=87&ba=H-8441 https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/BillBook?ga=87&ba=H-8... Notice how the text removes these clauses: > Compliance with the prerequisites of this section shall not apply to any of the following: a. An abortion performed to save the life of a pregnant woman. .. c. The performance of a medical procedure by a physician that in the physician’s reasonable medical judgment is designed to or intended to prevent the death or to preserve the life of the pregnant woman as well as specific rejection of mental health issues as a basis for an abortion in the new text: > Medical emergency” means a situation in which an abortion is performed to preserve the life of the pregnant woman whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, physical illness, or physical injury, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy, but not including psychological conditions, emotional conditions, familial conditions, or the woman’s age. This reduces the importance of the health of the mother, and specifically excludes mental heath - just like the ACLU link I gave says it does. "The left is freaking out" because of the decades of successful efforts to chip away at abortion rights in the US, staring with Planned Parenthood v. Casey in 1992.
