Iowa's six-week abortion ban is set to take effect, changing abortion access in the Midwest, as the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, shifting state-level policies since 2022.
The ban allows abortions until a detectable fetal heartbeat around six weeks, with exceptions for rape, incest, danger to the mother's life, certain injuries, or incompatible fetal abnormalities.
Republicans in Iowa, led by Gov. Kim Reynolds, consider the ban a victory for life, while Planned Parenthood expressed readiness to comply with the new law.
