(Des Moines, IA) — The Iowa Supreme Court has been asked to allow a ban on most abortions to take effect. Attorney Alan Ostergren – who’s representing the state of Iowa – says the legal landscape surrounding access to abortion has changed and Iowa’s high court does have the authority to lift a district court injunction. Governor Kim Reynolds signed a bill four years ago that would ban abortions after the sixth week of a pregnancy, a so-called fetal heartbeat law. New abortion restrictions have taken effect in at least 15 states since the U-S Supreme Court overturned its own Roe-V-Wade ruling in June.
