Excerpt from 7/1/2023 Register:

In a late-night marathon session punctuated by heated protests, the Iowa Legislature passed a bill Tuesday that will ban nearly all abortions after roughly six weeks of pregnancy, severely curtailing Iowans' access to the procedure. 

Gov. Kim Reynolds has announced she will sign the measure Friday at the Family Leadership Summit, in front of an audience of conservative Christians. Several Republican presidential candidates are also slated to speak at the summit. 

The ban will go into effect with her signature, requiring health care providers to comply immediately.
