REFILE-Iowa can enforce six-week abortion ban, state's top court rules

Iowa can enforce a ban on most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy, the state's highest court ruled on Friday, reversing a lower court order that had blocked the 2023 law from taking effect.

The 4-3 ruling from the Iowa Supreme Court held that the law does not violate citizens' fundamental rights under the state constitution, rejecting a lawsuit by Planned Parenthood. (Reporting By Brendan Pierson in New York; Editing by Chizu Nomiyama)
