DES MOINES — A debate took place in the statehouse Thursday night over adding language about abortion in the Iowa Constitution.
A bill that would amend Iowa’s Constitution and put in language that says the state does not recognize the right to an abortion made it through another hurdle Thursday.
The proposed amendment is now eligible for a debate in the full Senate.
A committee voted along party lines to move the process forward.
2022 is the earliest Iowa voters could decide whether to add that kind of language to the state’s constitution.
