Keep abortion providers out of Iowa

Late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart plans to open three new abortion clinics after Nebraska lawmakers passed a law that bans abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy because unborn children have the capacity to feel pain during the abortion. He plans to open an abortion clinic in Council Bluffs after Jan. 1.
Is this Iowa? The state I love, the good Midwest morals we boasted about? Planned Parenthood has brought tele-med abortions to the state. Abortions are done without a doctor present to do an exam! Now a late-term abortionist plans to move in. I am not proud of these changes to our state.
We must stop this culture of death. This is our own kind that are being killed. And killed legally. They are not an alien, not a blob of tissue, they are babies. And a late-term one at that. I wonder what they do if there is a complication of the baby surviving? What is next? Killing born babies?
Please pray for an end to this baby killing. Please contact your legislators to stop this baby killing. Help out local crisis pregnancy centers.
