An Iowa judge has temporarily blocked the state's new ban on most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy, just days after it was signed into law by Governor Kim Reynolds. The new law prohibits almost all abortions once cardiac activity can be detected, which is usually around six weeks of pregnancy. The ruling means that abortion is legal in Iowa up to 20 weeks of pregnancy while the courts assess the law's constitutionality. The state's Board of Medicine has been instructed to proceed with creating rules for enforcement, should the law be in effect in the future.
