Iowa on Tuesday became the 17th state to restrict access to telehealth abortions by imposing on them an in-person prescription requirement, and strictly by a medical provider, with House Bill 2788-one of 13 bills signed into law by Gov. Kim Reynolds (R-Iowa). This comes as another setback in a state that already has one of the strictest abortion bans in the country, during a time that feels especially fraught for medication abortions.

Reynolds signed Senate File 2289 on May 15, giving the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission expanded authority to pursue unauthorized betting and sweepstakes businesses operating in the state. It also updates financial reporting rules tied to gambling payouts and raises reimbursement limits for commission members.

A year later, the Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs visited Dyersville for another MLB matchup near the iconic field where the 1989 movie was filmed.
