BREAKING: Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signs a new abortion bill into law, banning the procedure after six weeks.
It comes after lawmakers held a special session on Tuesday with the "sole purpose" of passing"We have a responsibility not only to protect the unborn in law, but to change the destructive culture of abortion that still exists in a post-Roe world," Reynolds said inas she signed the bill during the Family Leadership Summit, a conference hosted by evangelical Christian conservative Bob Vander Plaats and his group, the Family Leader.
"Iowa’s new law will penalize health care providers and cause delays and denials of health and life-saving care," she said. "The Biden-Harris Administration will continue to defend access to reproductive health care and fight any attempts to pass a national abortion ban." In response, Reynolds had blasted the court's decision -- saying it had failed to exercise its authority -- and called for the special session.
