The Iowa Supreme Court will soon revisit one of the most politically charged questions of our time.
Last week a Johnson County District Court permanently blocked the state from “implementing, effectuating or enforcing” a law requiring a 24-hour waiting period before all abortions. Judge Mitchell Turner ruled the law unconstitutional on two grounds. The state is appealing the ruling and argues that a 2018 Iowa Supreme Court precedent, which established a fundamental right to an abortion under the Iowa Constitution, was “wrongly decided.”
Republican lawmakers planned for this scenario when they approved the waiting period during the waning hours of the 2020 legislative session. They may get their wish, but a reversal of the 2018 decision is not guaranteed.

With many travelers expected to remain close to home this year, the Dude Ranchers Association (DRA) has revamped its website to make it easy for travel advisors and consumers to find pandemic-era luxury in the great outdoors.
While the site does not have a travel advisor portal, the group s public relations representative, David Wiggins of Widness & Wiggins PR, said most if not all of the member ranches work with travel agents and pay commissions. A page on the site speaks directly to the trade. This new website from the association is an excellent resource for agents and travel counselors to find the right ranch for their clients and make bookings directly with the ranch, he said.

Though some people who didn t bring gloves said they wished they had, winter didn’t stop roughly 150 people from waiting near the Kalamazoo-Battle Creek International Airport today, some for more than an hour, in the hopes of glimpsing President Biden.
Many came for the spectacle: Air Force One, a motorcade, a chance to wave at the president. One couple said they were Biden fans and also they just needed to get out of the house. Several parents said they brought their kids for an educational experience, and one group, which set up early, was there to ask President Biden to intervene on behalf of Burmese democracy.

The Dadcam Diaries: Bored with lockdown I put together some bits I captured on the Dadcam over the summer. 15 minutes of shoddy camera work and shameful editing - but there s good people riding bicycles, so it s worth watching for that.
