It’s a good question. But I don’t think it’s because of the pro-life/incremental mindset.
Iowa is an interesting case because from what I I understand, the legislators are mostly pro-life. They have all the power. But according to polls, voters are strongly pro-abortion.
I don’t have all the details, but it seems to me that the legislators are concerned that supporting an abolitionist bill (or even another incrementalist bill) would anger voters even more and backfire.
I would do it, anyway. But if my assumptions are correct, as heartbreaking as it is, I understand.
Iowa, I’m sure is looking at what happened here in Ohio, and they are probably treading carefully. I want them to be more courageous. But I also know that things can be more complicated than we think.
