Abortion Provision Shifts Iowa Health Care Debate
The House health care bill’s abortion provision by Rep. Bart Stupak would bar a government plan from covering abortion and block tax credit buyers from policies with abortion coverage except in rape incest or life danger. It allows separate self funded add ons. Republicans and 64 Democrats back it, spurring pro choice activists and providers while Iowa leaders warn of reduced access. Sen. Harkin opposes. Braley votes on final passage.

Court overturns drunken driving conviction in Iowa
Iowa Court of Appeals overturned Abdoulaye Tangara's drunken driving conviction in Black Hawk County after ruling police stopped his car without proper cause and denied his request to call a friend. Tangara failed three sobriety tests but argued the stop and phone denial violated his rights. Video evidence contradicted the officer's account of Tangara's driving and of his request to call.
