Adapting to Iowa's abortion ban, Beshear rallies Dems, Libertarians file
Laura Belin and Spencer Dirks cover Iowa's top political news stories. They began with the near-total abortion ban now being enforced: details on the law's restrictions and vague exceptions, and how it will affect pregnant Iowans and health care providers. Other topics discussed include political reaction to the abortion ban, remarks by Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear and State Auditor Rob Sand at a big Democratic fundraiser, Libertarian candidates filing in three Iowa Congressional districts, the latest news related to Iowa's school voucher program, and Governor Kim Reynolds tapping American Rescue Plan funds for victim assistance programs.
