Judge Strikes Down Iowa ‘Heartbeat' Abortion Law
A human 'heartbeat' really isn't proof of life after all ?[Breitbart] A state judge struck down an Iowa law that banned all abortions from the time a fetal heartbeat could be detected ‐ at about six weeks of pregnancy. Polk County District Court Judge Michael Huppert said the law was unconstitutional and would not be compliant with the Iowa Supreme Court’s earlier decisions that affirm a woman’s right to abortion. In his opinion released Tuesday, Huppert wrote the heartbeat law’s "narrow amount of time afforded [to] women" to have an abortion was not consistent with a "fundamental right," as the state Supreme Court had ruled.
