Iowa court rejects law requiring 72-hour waiting period for abortion

(1/4) > >>

Free Vulcan:
The Iowa Supreme Court is blocking a recent law that requires women to submit to a 72-hour waiting period before they can get an abortion.

The Associate Press reports that the court ruled on Friday that the requirement, which was signed into law in 2017, violated Iowa's state constitution.

The ruling comes after Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sued the state over the waiting period requirement. The law had peen placed on hold during the challenge, according to the Des Moines Register.

In Iowa, no handgun may be transferred until the transferee obtains a five-year permit to acquire a handgun, which becomes valid three days after the date of application.

True, there is only a chance of a possible murder with the hand gun, while it is certain with the abortion.

There are none so blind as those who will not see.  Oh well, have it your way.
