Pulse Life Advocates is at the state capitol, relentlessly advocating for the protection of all life in our laws.
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.

Legislation
- 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.
Session Updates
The legislative session ended in the early morning hours of Saturday April 27, 2024. It was a disappointing session for the pro-life movement. While we appreciate the extra effort our legislators took to have a special session last summer to re-pass our Heartbeat bill once again, this session produced very little in terms of the life issues. Here is what passed for this session:
SF 2251 Expands Medicaid Coverage for One Year Post-Partum
SF 2252 MOMS (More Options for Maternal Support) Program
HF 2276 Requires Zoning of Maternity Homes as Residential Property
