Senate panel endorses abortion limits in Iowa
A Senate Human Resources subcommittee approved SF 53 to bar doctors from performing abortions after 20 weeks, with penalties up to 10 years in prison. The bill would not penalize women seeking late abortions, while critics warned it is unconstitutional. Supporters push for a broader pro life legal framework amid other abortion measures.

Replacing bottle law would boost recycling, backers say
Backers of replacing Iowa bottle deposits with a statewide recycling plan argue it would expand curbside programs and boost materials recovered. The proposed House Study Bill 163 would fund grants and loans to install or upgrade curbside recycling and redemption centers, aiming to reach more Iowans.
