As Iowa 's six-week abortion ban took effect on Monday after a June ruling by the state Supreme Court, reproductive rights advocates pointed to the law as the latest proof of the importance of opposing anti-choice Republicans in the November elections. 'Today, people in Iowa woke up to the unfortunate reality that their reproductive rights have been ripped away,' said NextGen America. 'They're already fleeing the state for care. In November, abortion is on the ballot.
We know how dangerous this ban will be for Iowans, but we will not stop fighting for your right to abortion care.' Iowa Abortion Access Fund posted a similar message, saying: 'We are heartbroken by this ban. It will affect thousands of Iowans but, as all abortion bans do, it will disproportionately affect those in marginalized communities, including communities of color, those in the LGBTQ community, lower-income individuals, and individuals living in rural areas.
