Iowans should  be free to choose

Posted

Over 60% of Iowans support a woman’s freedom to choose what happens with her pregnancy, and I’m one of them. 

Women and their loved ones need to be able to decide whether the time is right to bring a child into the world. Women, their families, and their health care professionals need the freedom to be able to make a decision, quickly if necessary, if there is any type of risk and the woman’s life needs to take precedence. All concerned need to have the space and privacy to make sometimes agonizing choices.

As the legislature conducts a special session regarding abortion rights, I hope they’ll keep in mind that pregnancy is a risky and complicated condition, and Iowans deserve to be allowed to make these important health care decisions without the government looking over their shoulder.
