Iowa Senate Democratic Leader Pam Jochum Responds to the 6-Week Abortion Ban Going Into Effect

Des Moines – Iowa Senate Democratic Leader Pam Jochum released the following statement regarding the six-week abortion ban going into effect July 29.

“The ban on abortions as early as six weeks of pregnancy will have serious ramifications to Iowans’ health and future,” Sen. Pam Jochum, D-Dubuque, said. “Senate Democrats stand with the majority of Iowans who support safe and legal access to abortion.”

“In the face of this injustice, Iowans must stand up to attacks on their basic freedom and privacy – and they’ll have an opportunity to do so this November at the ballot box.”
