In a disgusting, shameless assault on women's rights, the Iowa legislature voted to make abortion illegal after a fetal heartbeat is detected. There is no exception for rape or incest. The health of the woman? Only if there is a medical emergency. "Iowa's predominantly Republican legislature passed a bill that would prohibit abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, a significant step toward enacting one of the most restrictive laws of its kind in the United States and one that Republicans hope would pave the way for a showdown at the U.S. Supreme Court." "The 'heartbeat' bill, which would ban abortions as early as six weeks — around the time women generally feel early signs of pregnancy and before many even realize they are pregnant — was passed Tuesday by the Iowa House, 51-46. The state Senate passed the bill 29-17 early Wednesday, sending it to Gov. Kim Reynolds (R), who has said abortion is 'equivalent to murder.'” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...he-most-restrictive-abortion-bills-in-the-u-s The bill text: https://legiscan.com/IA/text/HF2163/id/1711224
