I'm confident that the Republicans in Iowa will step up to the plate and increase their Medicaid to pay for the life support of those babies born with severe congenital malformations.
Do you really believe they will step up to the plate? When have any of them ever decided to support babies after birth?
Religious zealots? Even California has fetal homicide laws. Why? They're not religious zealots, so why have fetal homicide laws. Killing a fetus should be optional for everyone. Equal Protections Clause.
Then make birth control free and available to all. But you ignored my point about anti abortion laws only affect those to cant afford to go somewhere else to have an abortion. The rich and affluent dont care about your laws. Doesnt matter if its calif or Oklahoma or anywhere else. Why do you want to punish the ones who can least afford the medical care/birth control?
Incorrect. Read the California Law Review article I posted. Women who have consented to their own behavior (smoking cigarettes, ignoring bed rest restrictions, etc.) have had their rights usurped due to medical professionals' and others' obligations to protect the fetus due to fetal homicide laws.
I have. The laws in 38 states are very clear. The bottom line is if a women consents to termination, it is NOT illegal. If termination is against her will then it can be prosecuted.
Iowa legislators will be overturned in court, they know that already.
Yes, this is just political theater at our expense. GOP candidates can look like they are accomplishing Great Things when in reality it will make no difference, except to our wallets.
I wish people would realize that and put more money and effort into saving the children languishing in the foster care system. They are already here and need our help!
Of course, it was never about saving babies in the first place. The foster care system means big buckeroos to various rich people, and they are ticked that not enough caucasian babies are available to adopt out at $11,000+ per adoption.
Follow the money! These are rich liars hiding under the cloak of the pro-life movement.
The bill, SF 2281, prohibits doctors from performing abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, which is typically as early as six weeks’ gestation, before most people know they’re pregnant. It makes an exception for cases of life endangerment, but not rape or incest.

“Under this Republican bill, you would force a child rape victim to have a baby, no matter how young she is,” said state Senate Minority Leader Janet Petersen (D-Des Moines). “That is unfathomable.”
Makes the Republic of Gilead seem not so fictional after all.
