Iowa 6-week 'fetal-heartbeat' abortion ban signed into law: 'To the smallest and most vulnerable among us'
Fox News
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a 6-week 'fetal heartbeat' abortion ban during the Family Leadership Summit on Friday. A judge is expected to rule on whether the law can be enforced Monday.
Iowa's legislatures passed the abortion ban after the popular GOP governor called legislators back for a special session after the state Supreme Court declined to reinstate a 2018 ban after about six weeks of pregnancy.

"Iowa’s 2018 heartbeat law was not hypothetical," Reynolds said. "It was not an empty gesture, and it was not a mistake. It was an ironclad commitment to the smallest and most vulnerable among us."
