Iowa will hold a special legislative session next week to enact anti-abortion legislation, after the state Supreme Court declined to reinstate a 2018 law banning nearly all abortions after about 6 weeks of pregnancy.
“I believe the pro-life movement is the most important human rights cause of our time,” Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) said in a statement Wednesday announcing the July 11 session. “Not only will I continue to fight against the inhumanity of abortion, but I will also remain committed to supporting women in planning for motherhood, promoting fatherhood and parenting, and continuing policies that encourage strong families.”
