AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa is set to join more than a dozen other states where abortion access has been sharply curbed since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

A Planned Parenthood official in the region says clinics are ready to follow the new law but it will still be devastating for Iowa residents.
