Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County Celene Gogerty, District Judge

From the Summary of Argument

Important questions about Iowa constitutional law and abortion are at issue in this appeal. But there is an important, separate question that is predicate to these issues; a question that has the potential for far-reaching impact in civil litigation, of any type, throughout the State of Iowa: When do Iowa courts have the power to modify injunctions based on changes in law?
