This bill repeals Code chapters 146C and 146E, which previously established a prohibition on physicians performing abortions after the detection of a fetal heartbeat through prescribed testing. By removing these chapters, the bill effectively eliminates the legal restrictions that were in place regarding the timing of abortions in relation to fetal heartbeat detection.

The repeal signifies a significant change in the legal framework governing abortion procedures in Iowa, allowing for greater flexibility for physicians and patients regarding the timing of abortions without the constraints previously imposed by the now-repealed chapters.
