State judge temporarily blocks Iowa's 6-week abortion ban

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : The suit was filed last week by Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, the Emma Goldman Clinic and the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa, who jumped into action hours after the bill was sent to Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds' desk to block the measure from immediately going into effect with her signature.
46% : The legal advocacy groups in a joint statement said the new law "violates Iowans' constitutional rights to abortion and substantive due process.""We are appalled and disappointed that the Iowa Legislature and the governor are playing doctor by inserting themselves into exam rooms where they don't belong," said Francine Thompson, executive director of the Emma Goldman Clinic, last week upon filing the suit.
39% : The temporary injunction is the latest roadblock in Republican efforts to enact restrictions on abortion in the state.
