Iowa Supreme Court Blocks Law Banning Abortion After Six Weeks.
TL;DR Summary
The Iowa Supreme Court has deadlocked on whether to reinstate a 2018 law that would have banned most abortions after six weeks, leaving in place a lower-court ruling that the state's "fetal heartbeat law" is unconstitutional. Iowa is among several Republican-led states that have sought to curtail abortion rights after the US Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade last year. Meanwhile, in Ohio, a divided state Supreme Court ruled that an election can be held in August on a GOP-driven ballot measure that, if passed, would make it more difficult to amend the state constitution.
