Iowa Governor Seeks Supreme Court Intervention in Abortion Ban Battle

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds has requested the state Supreme Court to lift the block on the abortion ban, which was temporarily halted by a lower court. Reynolds, a Republican, signed the law earlier this year, banning most abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected. The ban has faced legal challenges, and a district court judge issued a temporary injunction in May, blocking the law from taking effect. The case is now being reviewed by the state Supreme Court, and Reynolds is urging them to allow the ban to proceed.
