Iowa Supreme Court Allows Six-Week Abortion Ban to Take Effect in 4-3 Decision

Jun 28, 2024, 01:55 PM

The Iowa Supreme Court has ruled that the state can enforce a law banning most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy. This decision, announced on Friday, reverses a lower court order that had previously blocked the 2023 law from taking effect. The ruling was decided by a narrow 4-3 margin, reversing a temporary injunction. The decision allows the 2023 law, which imposes a near-total abortion ban, to be implemented.
