Minnesota prepares for influx of patients from Iowa as abortion ban takes effect

She welcomed Iowa residents who were seeking abortions after the state’s new restrictions take effect. Previously, abortion was legal up to 20 weeks of pregnancy in Iowa. Last July, the state’s Republican-controlled legislature passed a new ban on the procedure after six weeks of pregnancy, which is often before women know they are pregnant. There are limited exceptions in cases of rape, incest, fetal abnormality or when the life of the mother is in danger.
