Iowa Supreme Court and Abortion: Recent Developments and Future Battles.

Conservative anti-abortion leader Bob Vander Plaats has called for the resignation, impeachment, or ousting of three Iowa Supreme Court justices who prevented a restrictive abortion law from taking effect. The court's 3-3 split on Friday, with one justice recused, means a lower court's ruling keeping the law blocked is the final say on the matter. Vander Plaats helped lead a successful campaign in 2010 to oust three other Iowa Supreme Court justices in the wake of a 2009 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage in the state.
