The #legislation was passed during a rare one-day special session called by Gov #KimReynolds (R) for the “sole purpose” of enacting new restrictions on #abortion. Reynolds celebrated the bill’s passage in a statement late Tues & said she will sign it on Fri. “Justice for the unborn should not be delayed,” she said.

Once it is signed into law, the bill, which
passed 56-34 in the House & 32-17 in the Senate, will add #Iowa to the wave of #conservative-leaning states — including North Dakota & South Dakota — that have put in place #abortion restrictions since #SCOTUS overturned the constitutional right to an abortion last summer. The Iowa restrictions further limit access to the procedure in the Midwest.
