Iowa Republicans claim historic bold reforms in Branstad era
Iowa lawmakers under GOP control passed broad changes from gun laws and collective bargaining to texting while driving and abortion limits. Key actions include stand your ground provisions, a 20 week abortion ban, stricter voter verification, and reduced early voting, with Branstad calling the session highly productive. Democrats blasted the agenda as anti worker and anti woman, arguing it reflected outside influence and limited public input.
