The number of abortions performed in Iowa has dropped dramatically since a restrictive new law took effect a year ago. July 29 marked one year since Iowa's six-week abortion ban took effect. The law, which supporters call the "fetal heartbeat" law, bans most abortions once embryonic cardiac activity can be detected, typically around six weeks of pregnancy. The law has contributed to a sharp decline in abortions that have taken place in Iowa, according to state data. At the same time, abortion providers say more Iowans are traveling to other states to seek abortions. Tap the link in our bio for more on this story. #Iowa #IApolitics #Abortion
