KXEL Morning News for Wed. Jul. 24, 2024
Iowa’s new abortion law is set to take effect Monday morning. The law passed last year, but a judge initially blocked it from being enforced. Last month, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled there is no constitutional right to an abortion in the state and ordered the hold to be lifted. A district court judge now says the law will go into effect Monday at 8 a.m. The law bans an abortion once fetal cardiac activity is detected, which is typically around six weeks into a pregnancy. There are exceptions for rape, incest, fetal abnormality, or if the pregnancy endangers the mother’s life.

NOW PLAYING: Twisters (PG-13) This summer, the epic studio disaster movie returns with an adrenaline-pumping, seat-gripping, big-screen thrill ride that puts you in direct contact with one of nature’s most wondrous—and destructive—forces. From the producers of the Jurassic, Bourne and Indiana Jones series comes Twisters, a current-day chapter of the 1996 blockbuster, Twister. Directed by Lee Isaac Chung, the Oscar® nominated writer-director of Minari, Twisters stars Golden Globe nominee Daisy Edgar-Jones (Where the Crawdads Sing, Normal People) and Glen Powell (Anyone But You, Top Gun: Maverick) as opposing forces who come together to try to predict, and possibly tame, the immense power of tornadoes. Edgar-Jones stars as Kate Cooper, a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. She is lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi (Golden Globe nominee Anthony Ramos, In the Heights) to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Powell), the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew, the more dangerous the better. As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed, and Kate, Tyler and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.
