    Statement Regarding Passage of “Heartbeat” bill

    May 4, 2018

    The Iowa Catholic Conference is pleased the Legislature has taken action in Senate
    File 359 to stop any trafficking in fetal body parts following an abortion and supports
    the life-affirming intent of the provision to stop abortions after a heartbeat can be
    detected.

    As Pope Francis has said, “Let us respect and love human life, especially vulnerable
    life in a mother’s womb.” We call upon the judiciary to once again recognize that all
    life should be protected from the moment of conception to natural death.
