Rape survivors and persons conceived in rape fight ‘exceptions’ in Iowa’s heartbeat law

Save the 1, a pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion — including the abortion of preborn children conceived in rape or incest, or those diagnosed with a fetal abnormality — is fighting to remove the “exceptions” rule added to Iowa’s new heartbeat law.
