KCCI-TV: The Iowa Supreme Court has rejected a proposed 72-hour waiting period for abortions in the state. It would have required a woman seeking an abortion to wait three days before having the procedure. The ruling reverses a lower court decision, calling the law unconstitutional. The ruling sides with a lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood of Iowa and the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa. The organizations sued the state over the law approved by lawmakers last year.
