Change the legislature to prevent exodus of young women from Iowa

What if, in your family, a young woman is looking for a college or a young couple is looking at job options and a place to settle? You would love to see them here in Iowa. But a major consideration for them is a huge barrier in Iowa: the current lack of safety in women's health care. Iowa has become a dangerous place for women, especially young women — as their health care options have been compromised by Iowa's legislature and governor.

Iowa has faced a brain drain for decades, but the current climate for young women has exasperated the situation. Given choices, why would young women settle in a state that increasingly will limit their health care?

The only answer for us at this time is to vote for legislators who can make changes in Iowa law — Kent McNally for Iowa House and Polly Denison for Iowa Senate. For the nation we can elect Sarah Corkery to the U.S. House of Representatives.
