Big News! The Prenatal Human Development Education Bill passes!
The legislature just passed the Prenatal Human Development Education bill. Now it moves on to Governor Reynolds to sign into law!
This bill provides that fetal development related to pregnancy be taught in the human growth and development curriculum for all schools in Iowa in grades 5th through 12th grade.
This education includes human biology related to pregnancy, human development inside the womb, a high-definition ultrasound video showing the development of the brain, heart, sex organs, and other vital organs in early fetal development.
It also requires a high-quality, computer-generated rendering or animation showing the process of fertilization and every stage of human development inside the uterus, noting significant markers in cell growth and organ development for every significant marker of pregnancy until birth.
This is a significant victory for Iowa and for our children.
According to a PEW Research survey in 2024, 76% of young people ages 18-29 say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. It is vital that children learn at an early age the beauty of life in the womb and how unique each of us is created.
Thank you to our pro-life legislators that have passed this important bill!
