Judges asked to block Iowa partial birth abortion ban
Lawyers for Planned Parenthood Central Iowa Emma Goldman Clinic and doctors urged U.S. District Judge Robert Pratt to block the July 1 enforcement of Iowa’s partial birth abortion ban as a broad attack on abortion. Assistant Attorney General Mark Hunacek defended the law, arguing it targets a specific late term procedure and serves a compelling state interest. Pratt will decide on a preliminary injunction this month as both sides prepare expert testimony.

Hawkins and Lightfoot stir Iowa party tides in ticket picks
DES MOINES AP Almo Hawkins, the surprising running mate choice of Republican gubernatorial nominee Jim Lightfoot, is a former Democrat who switched to vote in this month’s GOP primary. State records show she voted Democratic in 1996, sparking bipartisan controversy alongside Sally Pederson’s reported Republican-leaning activity. Lightfoot dismisses the flap, citing common party switching, while Pederson’s past contributions to Joy Corning’s campaign add to the political balancing act ahead of the race.
