In light of the Iowa House Human Services Committee moving forward win an unconstitutional abortion ban, Iowa Democratic Party Chair Troy Price has released this statement:

“The Republicans who voted today to strip Iowans of their right to make their own reproductive decisions, even in cases of rape and incest with no consideration for age, should be ashamed of themselves for unconstitutionally inserting their personal beliefs in to our political process. On the other hand, the passionate defense of women’s rights from the House Democrats made us incredibly proud, and we can’t thank them enough for their hard work.  Democrats will not back down from the fight to ensure that every Iowan – and not a group of Republican Legislators in Des Moines – can make the best, private health care decisions for themselves and their families.”
