Iowa Supreme Court to decide on Fetal Heartbeat Law, potentially banning most abortions.
Iowa's Supreme Court is set to decide on the state's Fetal Heartbeat Law, which could effectively ban most abortions in Iowa. The law, if enacted, would outlaw abortion when cardiac activity is detected in an embryo or fetus, often around six weeks, before many women realize they are pregnant. The court's decision, expected on Friday, could have significant implications for women's healthcare in Iowa, potentially affecting the availability of services and potentially influencing the number of OBGYN providers in the state.
