The Iowa Supreme Court has halted enforcement of a 72-hour waiting period required before an abortion under a new state law. The court’s approval of an injunction today (Friday) came shortly after Gov. Terry Branstad signed the measure into law. The new law also bans most abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The injunction remains in effect until Monday, allowing some scheduled abortions to proceed.
The injunction followed a decision Thursday by a lower court judge who denied a request by Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa to block elements of the abortion restriction before Branstad’s signed the measure.
The organizations have argued that a 72-hour waiting period could cause undue harm to women by requiring multiple appointments
The Board of Regents is proposing another increase in tuition to make up for state budget cuts. The board approved a two percent increase in tuition at the University of Iowa, Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa in December based on their previously adopted plan to raise tuition by that amount with a corresponding two percent increase in state funding.
But the Iowa Legislature cut funding in February by nearly 21 million dollars and then again in April by nearly ten million dollars due to lagging state tax collections. The Regents are now proposing tacking on a 216 dollar increase for undergraduate students at the three state schools to make up that difference. They will meet Monday to discuss the tuition increase.
