Iowa’s strict abortion ban, that would prevent most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, is expected to take effect on Monday.
The law which was passed last year will make Iowa one of more than a dozen states with these strict abortion bans. Right now, 14 states have near-total abortion bans and four states ban abortions after six weeks.
