The Spin
Republican narrative
Iowans and their democratically-elected legislators want their state to protect the sanctity of life. With this bill, which was courageously passed in the face of disruptive protests and loud chanting from pro-abortion activists, Iowa has given the unborn the justice they deserve.
Democratic narrative
This isn’t about justice or the sanctity of life, it’s about access to life-saving healthcare for women. Republicans are lying to Americans while denying women the right to do what they feel is right with their bodies. The GOP is imposing these unpopular bans against will of the people.
