Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds has defended signing a six-week abortion ban after former President Donald Trump said Florida’s heartbeat ban is a “terrible thing.”
“It’s never a ’terrible thing' to protect innocent life. I’m proud of the fetal heartbeat bill the Iowa legislature passed and I signed in 2018 and again earlier this year,” Ms. Reynolds, a Republican, wrote on X.
