Iowa Supreme Court to Hear Appeal on Blocked Abortion Ban
TL;DR
The Iowa Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal by Republican Governor Kim Reynolds over a lower court order that blocked the state's ban on abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. The ban, which Reynolds signed into law earlier this month, was temporarily halted following a legal challenge from Planned Parenthood and other organizations. The new law is similar to a previous ban that was permanently blocked by the state Supreme Court last year. Reynolds and Iowa Republicans are seeking to enact a stricter ban on abortion, while opponents vow to fight for the right to access abortion care.
