Gov. Reynolds Statement on Heartbeat Bill Oral Arguments
DES MOINES – Gov. Reynolds released the following statement in response to the Iowa Supreme Court hearing oral arguments on the fetal heartbeat bill:
“I remain optimistic that the Iowa Supreme Court will allow the fetal heartbeat bill to take effect as the Iowa Constitution requires. Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, decision-making power has been returned to the states. Our citizens and their elected officials have chosen to promote Life and end abortion at a heartbeat, with exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother.”
