President Joe Biden criticized the Iowa abortion law that the state’s Supreme Court upheld in a decision on June 28. The president said the strict law puts women’s health and lives in “jeopardy.”
The Iowa Supreme Court’s decision, handed down on Friday, orders a lower court to dissolve an injunction blocking the law. The law implements a six-week abortion ban once a fetal heartbeat is detected, with exceptions for cases of rape, incest, and threats to the mother’s life.
