Iowa House Tightens Veto on Medicaid Abortion Restrictions
The House Budget Committee advanced language tying abortion limits to the $78.65 million Medicaid appropriation making vetoes difficult for Gov. Ray. The panel also allowed aid for abortions when the mother’s health is at stake or in cases of rape or incest, or when the fetus is severely impaired, signaling a conference committee fight as the session ends.

ERA amendment gains final first round approval in Iowa House
The Iowa House approved by 78-16 a proposed equal rights amendment with Senate language, sending it to the next General Assembly and voters. The measure would ban gender-based discrimination and add "and women" to Article I, Section 1, while opponents warn of unintended effects. A senator added compelling state interest language to justify sex distinctions, and a GOP representative's bid to rescind ratification if voters reject the amendment failed 19-5.
