Poll Shows Iowa Republicans Support Heartbeat Law Saving Babies From Abortions

Another new poll shows that Republican voters support pro-life laws. A new Des Moines Register/NBC News/Mediacom Iowa Poll indicates a majority if GOP voters support the state’s new heartbeat law that protects babies with beating hearts from abortions.

Fifty-eight percent of likely Republican caucusgoers say the law “gets it about right,” according to the survey. Only 30% say the law imposes too many restrictions and another 9 percent want the law to protect babies from conception.

That’s 67% of Republicans taking a solid pro-life position to protect unborn babies from abortions.

This poll of 406 likely Republican caucusgoers was conducted Aug. 13-17 by Selzer & Co. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.

An Iowa judge has temporarily blocked the heartbeat law to protect babies from abortions. The legislation will save thousands of lives annually by protecting babies at a point when they have a heartbeat if it is allowed to go into effect fully.

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed the bill in July and a judge allowed it to go into effect until his decision on the request by Big Abortion for an injunction. Today, Polk County Judge Joseph W. Seidlin temporarily blocked the law while the case moves forward.

That means abortion is once again legal in Iowa up to 20 weeks of pregnancy.

Abortion businesses Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, the Emma Goldman Clinic and abortionist Sarah Traxler filed suit to block the law, claiming it would irreparably harm Iowans even though it protects Iowa babies from death.

Iowa officials plan to appeal the ruling and the case will undoubtedly move to the state’s highest court.

“In their own words, the abortion industry stressed the need for a temporary injunction so they could continue with 200 scheduled abortions in the next two weeks. While Life was protected for a few days, now even more innocent babies will be lost,” the governor said.

“The abortion industry’s attempt to thwart the will of Iowans and the voices of their elected representatives continues today, but I will fight this all the way to the Iowa Supreme Court where we expect a decision that will finally provide justice for the unborn,” Reynolds said.

Nationwide polls and polling data in states across the nation shows Americans support heartbeat laws to protect babies from abortions.
