The law bans abortion after cardiac activity is detected which is usually around six weeks. It does include some exceptions for rape and incest and certain medical emergencies for the mother's life.
Iowa's new abortion law is set to take effect after the state's high court denied Planned Parenthood's request to rehear the case.
The decision from the Iowa Supreme Court came down Monday.
The law bans abortions once cardiac activity is detected, which is typically around six weeks into pregnancy.
There are some exceptions to the law, including rape if reported within 45 days, incest if reported within 140 days, and medical emergencies if the mother's life is in danger.
The case now goes to a district court judge who will decide when to officially lift the injunction.
