In Iowa, Republican lawmakers passed a six-week abortion ban following a marathon one-day special legislative session. Republican Governor Kim Reynolds said she would sign the bill into law Friday; it will go into effect immediately unless halted by a court. Abortion is currently legal in Iowa up to 20 weeks of pregnancy. The new ban would only provide exceptions for miscarriages, when the life of the patient or the fetus is at risk, and for rape and incest if the rape is reported to an official.
