More than one in three US women now live in a state that has restricted abortion access since 2022.
The state's Republican-controlled legislature approved the ban last yearThe legislation allows the procedure until early signs of cardiac activity can be detected in a foetus or embryo, with exceptions in cases of rape, incest, foetal abnormalities and when the mother's life is in danger.
The US Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v Wade decision had guaranteed the right to an abortion prior to foetal viability, usually between 24 and 28 weeks, before its repeal nearly a half-century later by the court's new conservative majority. Iowa Republicans had passed their prohibition last summer after failing in an identical effort six years ago.
