Judge orders continued state funding for abortions
Des Moines Iowa will continue paying for abortions for welfare women while a Johnson County District judge decides if the state may cut payments. Judge Harold Vietor held a brief hearing and kept his earlier order in place directing funding until the suit by two Iowa groups and two Iowa City residents is resolved, with a ruling anticipated after briefs due Oct. 14. The program began Aug 4 after federal funding ended and was halted by the Iowa Council on Social Services on Aug 12, but Vietor blocked the council from acting on that decision.
