Iowa Judge Temporarily Blocks State's 6-Week Abortion Ban

A judge in Iowa has temporarily blocked the state's new six week abortion ban from taking effect the ruling yesterday, just three days after the law was signed by Republican Governor Kim Reynolds grant a temporary injunction until the court can issue a final decision. Governor Reynolds is vowing to fight the challenge which was brought by a local clinic and chapters of the AC lu and Planned Parenthood all the way to all the way to the State Supreme Court. The law bans abortions after cardiac activity can be detected in the embryo which can occur before many women even know they're pregnant.
