In rare 3-3 decision, Iowa Supreme Court declines to reinstate law largely banning abortion

[raging moderate]

1. Good that the Iowa Supreme Court blocked this ignorant change.

The change was based on ignorance of the actual physical facts. What is called "around six weeks of pregnancy" is actually only about FOUR weeks of pregnancy, since it has been customary to start the count at the first day of the woman's previous period, but we now know that ovulation and fertilization do not occur until two weeks later. Also, recent studies show that the "cardiac activity" was not actually heart activity, and that there is no heart at that point. We need to spread these facts, because many people are afraid to allow abortion at a point when they think the embryo has all these functioning organs and sentience.
