040319 432 It looks like a controversial fetal homicide bill that defines personhood as starting at conception will not advance in the Iowa legislature this session. This means the proposal won’t remain eligible at the statehouse this year. The bill would further increase criminal penalties for a person who “causes the death of an unborn person” without consent from the mother. Opponents say the proposal could lead to outlawing abortion and could affect birth control and in vitro fertilization.
