Nearly all Iowa abortions would be banned under a measure that faces a looming legislative deadline this week and mounting pressure from outside groups.
Despite Republican control of the Legislature and the governor’s office, the measure, which would create the strictest anti-abortion law in the nation, faces an uncertain future.
If enacted, Iowa’s law would ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected. It would prompt a near-certain legal battle — one the bill’s supporters hope could ultimately knock down Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court case that found women have a constitutional right to abortion.
