Don’t want government denying women choices

I was alarmed to learn that nearly 30 members of the Iowa House, many of them newly elected, are sponsoring a bill that defines personhood as beginning at conception.
Regardless of how we feel about abortion, most Iowans don't want government denying women the ability to manage their own health care decisions, including use of birth control. And that's exactly what this legislation does.
