House File 732 bans abortions after the detection of cardiac activity, typically around six weeks, before most people learn they are pregnant.
The state Supreme Court ruled that the Iowa constitution does not guarantee the right to an abortion, leading to the law coming into effect.

Planned Parenthood, Emma Goldman Clinic, and ACLU express disappointment, highlighting the impact on people's autonomy over their lives and healthcare decisions.
