Iowa House approves abortion funding restrictions
The Iowa House approved a budget amendment to bar Medicaid funds for abortions in rape and incest cases, seeking to limit Planned Parenthood funding. The measure, passed 58 to 38, faces a Democratic Senate clash, with supporters arguing the move reflects Iowans' views and priorities health care dollars first to federally qualified centers.
