Iowa Legislature passes 6-week abortion ban; Gov. Reynolds will sign bill on Friday

“Today, the Iowa legislature once again voted to protect life and end abortion at a heartbeat," a statement from Reynolds said in part.

Imagine if American women were legally allowed to forego motherhood through abortion and adoption, without being legally responsible for child support; yet American men are unable to legally forgo fatherhood without permission from women and are forced to pay pay child support. Double standards and female privilege are fun kids. Hands off their bodies, Hands off our wallets

With all of these Republican ran States that have put into place banning ABORTIONS. They should be sued for denial of rights and practicing medicine without a "MEDICAL LICENSE" but I doubt anyone will.

That said, I also doubt that even if some one does file suit against these Law Makers in these Republican states they will lose their law suits.

So, I suggest that instead of trying to sue these Law Makers in these Republican states for denial of rights. That they should aim for something else.

That something else should be to sue these Law Makers in these Republican states for practicing medicine without a "MEDICAL LICENSE".

This could also be used against those same Law Makers in these Republican states who have passed laws denying Transgender Care for Children.

None of these Law Makers in these Republican states know a damn thing about Medical Care for either those seeking Abortions or care for Transgene Children. Yet they present all of these bills that have to do with Medical Treatment and ignore what the true Medical Professional's know and tell them. People who actually know what they are talking about, because Republicans think they know more and are the smartest ones in the room.

As I have said time and time again that all these Republican Law Makers want is power and control over others on what they think, say, act and do.

It is about time "We The People" wake the hell up and do something about these Republican Law Makers before we are all living in a Nation were "Free Thought" is an arrestable offence with a Punishment of DEATH. Something has to be done and done now before those with out a "MEDICAL LICENSE" do some serious harm to us all.

Soooo, they're saying there's no criminal penalty for a doctor who does not obey the law, but they don't explicitly say they're breaking the law, but then they go on to say but, that doctor has to obey Iowa law? Like, how am I NOT in trouble if I break a law, period? This makes no sense. It will definitely end up with tens if not hundreds of court cases involving this bill.
