HF2575 replaces “human pregnancy” with “unborn person” in Iowa law and increases penalties for harming or killing an unborn person during crimes, with life sentences for killing unborn deaths.
The Iowa State House of Representatives passed HF2575 on March 7, 2024 by a vote of 58 to 36. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and guaranteed by the 5th and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. People, whether born or not, fall under those same God-given protections.
