Rep. Shannon Lundgren R-Peosta speaks in the Iowa House Tuesday
Iowa lawmakers have paved the way for the nation's most restrictive abortion legislation in the country. Current law in Iowa allows most abortions up to 20 weeks.
If signed into law, the measure is expected to be legally challenged on whether it goes against past Supreme Court rulings, such as Roe v. Wade, which legalized the procedure.
A similar court challenge is under way in Kentucky, which in April enacted a ban on a common abortion procedure from the 11th week of pregnancy. According to the American Pregnancy Association, most women find out they are pregnant between four and seven weeks, meaning the bill would effectively ban most abortions in Iowa.

Mueller raised possibility of subpoena in meeting with Trump legal team
And obviously the story telegraphs Mueller's concerns to other witnesses, even though he may have different questions for them. That's the idea that his presidential campaign collaborated with Russians who were trying to help him to the Oval Office.
The Associated Press reported that while Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds has not signed the bill yet, her office has indicated that she will.
Senator Michael Breitbach, a Republican from Strawberry Point, says an estimated 150-million dollars worth of rebates and energy efficiency incentives will STILL be handed out annually by Iowa electric and gas utilities.
The legislation is aimed at triggering a challenge to Roe v Wade, the U.S. supreme court's 1973 landmark decision which established that women have a constitutional right to an abortion, activists on both sides of the issue said. The bill would prohibit doctors from performing abortions once they detect fetal heart beats.
