Iowa’s state Supreme Court on Friday struck down a state law that required women to wait 72 hours before getting an abortion, arguing it violates the state’s constitution.
The 5-2 decision reversed a ruling from a district court upholding the law that had been passed last year. It is the latest anti-abortion legislation to be struck down, as a controversial law that bans abortions after six weeks also was reversed by a federal judge this year.
