   *Gov. Reynolds issues statement as Fetal Heartbeat Law is set to go into effect*  DES MOINES— Gov. Kim Reynolds today issued the following statement after the Iowa Supreme Court overruled and denied Planned Parenthood’s petition for a rehearing. The case was returned to District Court where the injunction against the fetal heartbeat bill will be lifted, making it law on Monday, July 29, 2024.    “Today is a victory for life. There is nothing more sacred and no cause more worthy than protecting innocent unborn lives.     “As the fetal heartbeat law finally takes effect, our work will continue to strengthen a culture of life in Iowa. I remain deeply committed to supporting women in planning for motherhood, promoting the importance of fatherhood, elevating adoption, and protecting in vitro fertilization (IVF). Families are the foundation of society, and policies that encourage strong families will make our state and country strong for generations to come.”     # # #
