By Dave Andrusko The content of District Court Judge Mitchell Turner’s order, filed Monday, was 100% predictable: Turner held that Iowa’s 2020 law requiring a 24 hour waiting period was unconstitutional. Why the certainty about a law that passed the House 53-42 and the Senate by nearly two to one margin [31-16]? The 2018 decision …

By Dave Andrusko I meant to write about this fascinating topic earlier this month, but didn’t. However “This Peanuts Strip Offers a Window Into Ronald Reagan’s Changing Views on Abortion” is, I believe, very much worth exploring, not just because it involves our 40th President but also for what it says about how people’s attitudes on abortion …

You’ve announced ad nauseam that pro-life policies, proposed and/or enacted, are not supported by the public. In fact, whether it is parental notice or banning abortion when your …

Testimony in opposition to “Abortion Without Limits Until Birth Act” By Dave Andrusko We’ve written several stories about Wednesday’s meeting of the Senate Judiciary Committee in which (with two exceptions) the testimony senators heard sang hosannas to the so-called Women’s Health Protection Act. WHPA, of course, is designed to remove or nullify all legal protections …
