The 2023 Iowa State Fair has come to a steamy close. Our annual corn poll yielded some interesting results. Before we share them, many thanks to all the volunteers who helped Pulse Life Advocates man our booth and fulfill our mission …

… to inform, educate, and inspire a new generation to value the sanctity of all human life from fertilization to natural death.

We interacted with thousands of visitors during the Fair’s ten day run. Our 2023 corn poll asked this question:

Do you support a Life at Conception Law in Iowa? Yes … or no?

Here are the results:

YES: 6979 [81.4%]

NO: 1585 [18.5%]

TOTAL VOTES: 8564

Iowa is overwhelmingly a pro-life state, and our experience at the Fair confirmed that.

Currently, Iowa has a ban on abortions after 20 weeks. A Heartbeat Bill has been passed (twice!) and an injunction pends before the Iowa Supreme Court, which we believe will be lifted.

Since the Dobbs decision overturned Roe v Wade last year, thirteen states have passed life at conception laws, including:

Idaho

North Dakota

South Dakota

Oklahoma

Texas

Missouri

Arkansas

Louisiana

West Virginia

Kentucky

Tennessee

Mississippi

Alabama

Pulse Life Advocates will work in concert with the Iowa Coalition of Pro-Life Leaders to advance a Life At Conception Bill in the Iowa Legislature.
