Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signs bill mandating anti-abortion learning materials in schools

Last Friday, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) signed Senate File 175, a Republican-written piece of legislation that mandates schools to teach about the “humanity of the unborn child” to grades 5-12.

The new law also forbids any materials created by organizations, like Planned Parenthood, that perform or promote abortions, along with any materials that make reference to the medical procedure.

SF 175 passed in both chambers of the Republican-dominated state legislature earlier this year, with one Republican in the Iowa General Assembly voting against it.

While debating the bill, members of the GOP argued that the legislation will bring humanity to Iowa classrooms. Although it only allows material from one perspective of the abortion rights issue, Rep. Helena Hayes (R-New Sharon) reportedly said the law insist on “medically accurate” information that is not political.
