Iowa Republicans, following Gov. Kim Reynolds’ ® lead, passed a six-week abortion ban late Tuesday night after completing the entire legislative process in a one-day special session.
If you don’t believe in having an abortion, don’t have one. Don’t make laws to force others to live by your beliefs. This is shameful.
Vote out Republicans. Women deserve the right of choice over their bodies
Per a Des Moines Register poll published in March, 61 percent of Iowans think abortion should be legal in all or most cases, compared to the 35 percent who think it should be illegal in all or most cases.
No wonder they have to sneakily ram this through. This isn’t democracy in the least.
Pregnancy is counted from the first day of her last period. Most women find out they’re pregnant at 5-6 weeks. This is essentially a total ban on abortion.
And many don’t find out until later. 5-6 weeks is just the earliest that one is likely to find out. So many women have irregular cycles that it’s completely possible to go 8 weeks or even more without having any idea that you’re pregnant.
All of the problems in their state and they can manage to rush this through.
Now you understand why they have all those problems.
And how much did they complain about “ramming through” the ACA?
Imagine calling for and sitting in a one-day cram fest to take away rights of your citizens.
Shameful.
