Nation's most restrictive abortion law challenged in Iowa
Noting that the consistency between California's anti-SLAPP measure and federal rules of civil procedure has been "hotly disputed", the panel concluded that U.S. District Judge William Orrick of the Northern District of California "did not err in declining to evaluate the factual sufficiency" of Planned Parenthood's complaint at the pleading stage.
"I understand and anticipate that this will likely be challenged in court, and that courts may even put a hold on the law until it reaches the Supreme Court", she said. Miller claimed that the law goes against his beliefs.
The legal challenge of Iowa's new law that effectively bans almost all abortions in the state is starting in Polk County District Court.
Miller said the Thomas More Society, a conservative Chicago-based law firm, has agreed to defend the law for free.
However, since the case of abortionist and convicted murderer Kermit Gosnell, whose "house of horrors" drew attention to the potential for a lack of safety and sanitary conditions in many abortion clinics, pro-abortion groups' defense of a woman's right to "safe and legal abortion" has received considerable scrutiny.
Iowa Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds said she anticipated the lawsuits when she signed Senate file 359.

Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller will not defend the state against lawsuits over the state's abortion ban. "It's about protecting life". That's a tactical move to try to avoid having this case heard in federal courts, where it might wind up as a test case to overturn Roe v Wade.
Pro-life leaders are encouraging President Donald Trump to cut taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood through a Reagan administration Title X regulation.
Prior to the passage of the Iowa "heartbeat" abortion ban law, Mississippi's 15-week limit was among the most restrictive in the country.
Iowa Republicans a year ago also gave up millions in federal dollars to create a state-funded family planning program that prohibits participation from abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood.
The Louisiana bill is similar to a 15-week abortion ban that was passed in MS in March.
Following failed efforts to defund Planned Parenthood through congressional legislation, a group of about 80 pro-life organizations sent a letter to the Trump administration earlier this month requesting a return to the Reagan rule.
