Pro-abortion activists demonstrate in front of the US Supreme Court in Washington DC
It also makes it illegal for a doctor to perform one.
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.
"Today we will begin this journey as Iowa becomes ground zero, now nationally, in the life movement", Sen. Rick Bertrand, R-Sioux City, said, according to Reuters.
The House began debate over the measure early Tuesday afternoon, voting it out shortly before midnight with six Republicans there opposing it.
Iowa Right to Life reacted to the development by stating on Facebook that it and the Coalition of Pro-Life Leaders are "very appreciative of the hard work and time that the House and Senate leadership teams and a handful of pro-life champions in each chamber have spent continuing to work on this heartbeat bill".
"Our office is reviewing the bill and would give strong consideration to defending the law if challenged". She did note: "I'm pro-life".
Since then, in a variety of different cases, the U.S. Supreme Court has said that states can regulate abortion. A federal appeals court, whose territory includes Iowa, rejected heartbeat bills passed in 2013 in North Dakota and Arkansas.
Some of the bill's backers relish the thought of a court battle.

"If it reaches the Court as it is presently constituted, I think that the six week ban on abortions in Iowa is likely to be struck down", said Cramer.
Some exceptions have been introduced - in cases of rape and incest, where it has been reported to authorities, and to save the woman's life. Another provision prohibits some uses of fetal tissue, with exemptions for research. "That drives everything that I, you know, that's my core belief and values".
Rep. Mary Wolfe, a Democrat from Clinton, said nothing would stop a woman from lying to a physician, who can't investigate or report the alleged crime.
KCCI spoke Thursday to Reynolds, who made it clear that she is leaning toward signing the legislation. Their licenses could be revoked for violations, and prosecutors could consider criminal charges against them.
Republicans at the Iowa Capitol have long sought to approve legislation that would further restrict abortion, and their flip of the state Senate chamber in the 2016 election gave them a trifecta of GOP power for the first time in almost 20 years.
"The bill weaponizes fetal heartbeat, which is by all accounts an arbitrary standard that bans abortion long before the point of fetal viability", she added.
Iowa's pro-life, conservative legislators aren't just thinking locally, however.
