Iowa Poll: Most Iowans oppose state's 6-week abortion ban law now in effect


The poll found that 59% of Iowans — including 69% of women — disapprove of the new restrictions. It found 37% of Iowans favor the new law, and 5% are not sure.

1. "Iowa Poll: Most Iowans oppose state's 6-week abortion ban law now in effect"

Yet they continue to vote for the same Republicans who put the ban in effect.

Indeed, most will be voting for Trump who made the ban possible.

There’s something seriously wrong with much of this country – how much of the country we’ll find out this November.

2. Good for all those Iowans!

Public opinion can go a long way to help start the needed changes that the people want.

3. As they should. They need to talk to missourians and kansas folks to see how well it's working for them

Huge lawsuit in progress. And there will be more to come if those asinine anti-abortion laws continue. So glad I and my female loved ones don’t live in that dangerous mess.

5. Good! Now please vote for.Democrats!

You could even do it this very year, Iowans!!

6. Not at all surprising now that everybody has seen women denied care

at ERs because the doctors are afraid to do their jobs. The disparity between men and women is sickening but not unexpected. Men generally don't want to think about any of this stuff.

7. And so they are going to do...?

And those 64% of Iowa adults, 69% of all Iowa women, and 88% of suburban women who oppose that vicious law are going to do... what?

The part in the story that caught my eye:

54% of fathers of children younger than 18 SUPPORT the legislation.

Really?
Your 15-year old daughter gets pregnant and you are OK with that?
YOU get 15-year old daughter gets pregnant and you are OK with that?
Your 15-year old raped daughter gets pregnant and you are OK with that?

Tell me about the 46% of fathers who are not OK with that.

8. But TSF is still leading, right?

Make it make sense. Apparently hate for people they don't like is more important than womens' bodily autonomy?

9. Then IA...you know what the right thing to do is....so do it!
