 The Iowa Supreme Court ruled Friday the state's strict abortion law is legal, telling a lower court to dissolve a temporary block on the law and allowing Iowa to ban most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy before many women even know they're pregnant. The fourth re-ruling is a victory for Republican lawmakers as Iowa joins more than a dozen other states with restricting health care and privacy rights for women following the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022.
