State Judge Rules Iowa’s ‘Heartbeat’ Abortion Bill Unconstitutional
(Worthy News) – District Court Judge Michael Huppert ruled Tuesday that Iowa’s pro-life “fetal heartbeat” law is unconstitutional and may not be enforced.
The law would ban abortions once a baby’s heartbeat is detected, which can happen as early as six weeks into gestation. The law was passed last year and was supposed to take effect July 1.
Huppert wrote in his decision that defenders of the law did not present a compelling state interest that justifies banning most abortions after a baby’s heart starts beating; therefore, the law violates Iowa’s Constitution, Huppert ruled. [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
