In Iowa, Republican state lawmakers have advanced a bill that would ban all abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. During a House committee debate Wednesday, Republican Shannon Lundgren answered “yes” when asked if the legislation would require a woman to carry a dead fetus to term if she miscarries after 20 weeks. Iowa’s House Republican caucus later said Lundgren “misspoke” and that the bill allows for an abortion under such circumstances.
