6-Week Abortion Ban Blocked by Iowa Court

“The Iowa Supreme Court on Friday issued a split decision on a proposed six-week abortion ban in the state, allowing the procedures to remain legal until about the 20th week of pregnancy,” NBC News reports.

“The six justices on the state’s high court issued a 3-3 decision, failing to reach a majority regarding whether to overturn a lower court decision that had temporarily blocked GOP Gov. Kim Reynolds’ effort to reinstate a six-week abortion ban that had been passed in 2018.”
