⚖️ Courts stymie abortion bans in Iowa, other GOP-led states
With a staunch anti-abortion Republican governorb and large GOP legislative majorities, Iowa would seem poised to ban abortion if the US Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.
Supreme courts in a handful of states, including others controlled by Republicans, have recognized the right to abortion. But in no state is the issue more immediate than Iowa, where Republicans are calling for a state high court with new, conservative justices to reverse a decision made just four years ago.
The Iowa court’s decision is an example of the complexities that loom in states should the US Supreme Court overturn its 1973 decision that legalized abortion. Specifically, it highlights the inevitable confrontation between new abortion bans being prepared in anticipation of Roe’s reversal and state constitutions.

🤱 US births rose last year but still less than before pandemic
US births bumped up last year, but the number of babies born was still lower than before the COVID-19 pandemic. The 1% increase was a bit of a rebound from 2020, the first year of the pandemic, which witnessed the largest one-year drop in the US births in nearly 50 years.
But there were still about 86,000 fewer births last year than in 2019, according to a government report released Tuesday. The US was once among only a few developed countries with a fertility rate that ensured each generation had enough children to replace itself — about 2.1 kids per woman. But it’s been sliding, and in 2020 dropped to about 1.6, the lowest rate on record. It rose slightly last year, to nearly 1.7.
