Iowa will now ban most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy — before many women know they are pregnant.
The Iowa Supreme Court said Friday the state’s strict abortion law is legal, telling a lower court to dissolve a temporary block on the law and allowing Iowa to ban most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy — before many women know they are pregnant.
Currently, 14 states have near-total bans at all stages of pregnancy and three ban abortions at about six weeks. There are limited circumstances under the Iowa law that would allow for abortion after six weeks of pregnancy: rape, if reported to law enforcement or a health provider within 45 days; incest, if reported within 145 days; if the fetus has a fetal abnormality “incompatible with life”; or if the pregnancy is endangering the life of the patient. The state’s medical board recently defined rules for how doctors should adhere to the law.
The law was in effect for a few days before a district court judge put it on pause, a decision that Reynolds appealed.
