One of the nation’s strictest abortion laws will take effect in Iowa on Monday. Abortion care providers in Minnesota expect an increase in patients as another border state limits abortion access.

One of the nation’s strictest abortion laws will take effect in Iowa on Monday. Abortion care providers in Minnesota expect an increase in patients as another border state limits abortion access.

The Iowa law prohibits most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, when fetal cardiac activity can be detected but before many know they are pregnant. The only exceptions to the ban are in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the patient.

Previously, Iowa had permitted abortions until 22 weeks of pregnancy.

    Minnesota is good people. Went to a football game there and even though they lost, they were the nicest people I’ve ever come across. I fucking hate living in Iowa. They were congratulating my family on our win. Super friendly people, they’re legitimately nice when there’s a thing called “Iowa nice”.

      For you it was the day you met the nicest population ever created next to Canadians. For us Minnesotans, it was Tuesday Sunday.

        Well I’m happy to say that I’m a big fan of the people of Minnesota. Y’all were the one state that voted against Reagan. You are good people. I wish I could live amongst you but there’s things keeping me in this shithole.
