Iowa lawmakers meet for special session focused exclusively on abortion restrictions
Fox News
Lawmakers are set to meet on July 11, 2023, for a special session focused on creating a six-week abortion ban. Demonstrators are expected to rally at the state capitol building.
Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds ordered the rare session after the state Supreme Court declined to reinstate a law she signed in 2018 that is practically identical to the one being proposed Tuesday. Abortion is currently legal in Iowa up to 20 weeks of pregnancy.
"Iowans know we will defend life and have grown our majority," Speaker of the Iowa House Pat Grassley said in a statement.
