Iowa prison guard wins family leave after DOMA dispute
Teresa Heck, a corrections officer at Oakdale, was granted FMLA leave to care for her wife Rebecca Andrews after initial denial based on same sex marriage. The reversal followed ACLU advocacy and Senate testimony on DOMA, with state officials updating rules to include same sex spouses under FMLA. Andrews faced cancer and surgical complications, and Heck used her own leave to care for her.
