Gov. Reynolds Statement on the Fetal Heartbeat Case Heard at the Iowa Supreme Court

Gov. Kim Reynolds released the following statement in response to the Fetal Heartbeat case heard at the Iowa Supreme Court today:

"Since the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the decision of when to limit abortion has been given back to the states and the people. For Iowa, the people's elected representatives have drawn a clear line, multiple times, at when a heartbeat begins. Today, the unborn had their day at the Iowa Supreme Court. As a pro-Life Governor, I will do everything I can to protect the innocent unborn and promote strong, healthy families."
