The Iowa Board of Medicine is set to meet Friday to consider proposed rules that include specific guidance on how medical providers are to implement the exceptions for rape, incest, fatal fetal abnormalities and medical emergencies contained in a new law that would prohibit the vast majority of abortions in the state.
A Cedar Rapids woman is contesting the state’s decision to revoke her license, arguing she’s the innocent victim of the Florida diploma mill that awarded her a fraudulent degree in nursing.
Even though a judge’s ruling this week blocked enforcement of a new abortion law in Iowa, the process that will draft rules for the law’s implementation will continue.
The complaints put Iowa in line with disturbing national trends: two-thirds of state medical boards have experienced an increase in complaints relating to licensees disseminating false or misleading information.
