REYNOLDS SIGNED A BILL INTO LAW LAST FRIDAY THAT IMMEDIATELY BANNED MOST ABORTIONS AT OR NEAR THE SIXTH WEEK OF A PREGNANCY, WHEN CARDIAC ACTIVITY IS FIRST DETECTED.
A POLK COUNTY JUDGE ISSUED A TEMPORARY INJUNCTION TO BLOCK ENFORCEMENT AS A LAWSUIT CHALLENGING THE POLICY MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH THE COURT SYSTEM.
APPEAL2 OC………HAVE NOTHING.” :10
THE BILL THAT PASSED IS NEARLY IDENTICAL TO A 2018 LAW THAT WAS RULED UNCONSTITUTIONAL BY THE IOWA SUPREME COURT.
