At the state capitol...
Pulse Life Advocates has been a leader in bringing forth pro-life legislation at the Iowa State Capitol. In fact, most of the early pro-life legislation can be credited to this organization. We are advocating for legislation during the session and providing education to our representatives to pass bills that will protect life.

Session Updates
2025 End of Legislative Session:
The following bills passed the 2025 legislative session:
HF391/SF175 Prenatal Human Development Education- This bill provides that fetal development related to pregnancy be taught in the human growth and development curriculum for all schools in Iowa. Currently there are two versions of this bill, and both have survived the funnel. Pulse prefers the Senate version of this bill because it requires this curriculum to be taught from 4th-12th grade. The Senate has passed this bill, and the House version is eligible for debate. The two chambers have agreed on a compromise and a bill will move forward this session.
SF 288/ HF 103- Accommodations for Pregnant Students in College- A bill related to students who are pregnant or who recently gave birth who attend state institutions of high education be given reasonable accommodations. The Senate bill has passed the sub and committee and passed in full debate in the Senate 47-0. The House version has passed the sub and committee and is now eligible for debate in the full House.
- June 24, in Dobbs v. Jackson we overturned federal abortion law.
- Abortion law goes back to the state.
- Two dozen states have trigger bills, so they have outlawed abortion, Iowa unfortunately is not one of those states.
