Graham Confirms Re-Electing Grassley Means National Abortion Ban Vote - Iowa Starting Line

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : "Abortion will still be legal in some places, more legal, less legal, but it'll be up to the elected representatives of the state legislatures and I'm kind of thinking that that's going to be better than unelected judges making that decision," he said.
41% : The ban was ruled unconstitutional by the Iowa Supreme Court in 2018, but the ruling in that case that found a right to abortion in Iowa's Constitution was overturned in June.
34% : Iowa restricts abortion at 20 weeks and requires a 24-hour waiting period, but Republicans have pushed for tighter restrictions and Gov. Kim Reynolds has petitioned a Polk County judge to allow her six-week abortion ban to go into effect.
29% : At a town hall in Bedford, Iowa, when asked about making abortion illegal nationwide, Sen. Chuck Grassley said it's for the best that Roe v Wade was overturned, because it puts the decision at the state level and elected officials back in charge of the decision.
25% : In May this year, an antiabortion activist said Sen. Joni Ernst would introduce a bill to ban abortion at around six weeks.
25% : Graham's bill, introduced Tuesday, would ban abortion in all states at 15 weeks with exceptions for rape, incest and life or health of the pregnant patient but "not including psychological or emotional conditions."
