'Fetal heartbeat' bill: How each Iowa lawmaker voted in special session

LINE OF STORMS AS IT MOVES THROUGH. JASON, THANK YOU. WE WANT TO GET BACK TO THE BREAKING NEWS FROM THE IOWA STATE HOUSE. LAWMAKERS HAVE APPROVED NEW ABORTION RESTRICTIONS FOR OUR STATE. THIS ALL HAPPENED OVERNIGHT. THE FINAL VOTE CAME JUST BEFORE 11:00 DEADLINE LAST NIGHT. CASEY CERES ALYSSA GOMEZ IS THERE OUTSIDE THE STATE HOUSE BUILDING THIS MORNING. AND ALYSSA, HOW DOES HOW DID THIS BILL GET TO THE GOVERNOR’S DESK THIS MORNING? WELL, IT WAS AN EXTREMELY LONG NIGHT OF DEBATE FROM BOTH SIDES LAST NIGHT, BUT IT ALL CAME DOWN TO A 32 TO 17 VOTE THAT PASSED IN THE IOWA SENATE LAST NIGHT IN JUST TWO HOURS BEFORE THAT, THE MEASURE HAD PASSED IN THE HOUSE AROUND 9 P.M. IF SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR, THE BILL WOULD BAN MOST ABORTIONS. ONCE THERE IS A QUOTE, DETECTABLE FETAL HEARTBEAT. DOCTORS SAY CARDIAC ACTIVITY GENERALLY HAPPENS AROUND SIX WEEKS OF PREGNANCY. THE BILL DOES ALLOW FOR SOME EXCEPTIONS IN CASES OF RAPE, INCEST OR MEDICAL EMERGENCIES. IT EMOTIONAL TESTIMONIES WERE HEARD FROM LAWMAKERS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. I BELIEVE TO MY CORE THAT INTENSELY PERSONAL HEALTH CARE DECISIONS ARE BEST MADE BETWEEN PATIENTS AND THEIR DOCTORS. EVERY IOWAN DESERVES THE RIGHT TO DECIDE WHEN OR IF TO BECOME A PARENT AND THE IDEA THAT WE WOULD DICTATE OTHERWISE IS ANTITHETICAL TO THE IDEALS OF PERSONAL LIBERTY AND FREEDOM. IF THEY’RE NOT PREPARED TO HAVE A BABY, THEY SHOULDN’T HAVE SEX. IF THEY’RE THAT CONCERNED ABOUT IT, I WILL STAND FOR EVERYONE’S RIGHT TO PRACTICE ABSTINENCE CASS ABORTION HAS LITTLE, IF ANYTHING, TO DO WITH REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS. IT’S AFTER THE FACT THAT NOW THE GOVERNOR IS EXPECTED TO SIGN THE BILL ON FRIDAY. BUT WE DO KNOW THAT THERE ARE GROUPS SUCH AS PLANNED PARENTHOOD THAT ARE PLANNING TO CHALLENGE THE BILL IN COURT. OUT HERE LIVE AT THE STATEHOUSE, ALYSSA GOMEZ, KCCI EIGHT NEWS, IOWA’S NEWS LEADER. THANK YOU, ALYSSA. PHRASING WITHIN THE BILL SAYS ABORTIONS WOULD BE BANNED ONCE A FETAL HEARTBEAT IS DETECTED. SEVERAL OTHER STATES HAVE PASSED SO-CALLED FETAL HEARTBEAT LAWS, BUT SOME DOCTORS WARN THE TERMINOLOGY DOESN’T EASILY TRANSLATE TO MEDICAL SCIENCE. WHILE THE IOWA BILL DOES NOT INCLUDE A LIMIT ON WEEKS OF PREGNANCY, MEDICAL EXPERTS SAY ULTRASOUNDS CAN GENERALLY DETECT CARDIAC FLUTTER AT ABOUT SIX WEEKS. BUT THEY BUT THEY ALSO ADD AN EMBRYO DOESN’T BECOME A FETUS UNTIL ABOUT EIGHT WEEKS INTO PREGNANCY. AND DOESN’T HAVE A HEART. THE BILL IOWA LAWMAKERS JUST APPROVED SAYS A DOCTOR MUST TEST FOR A FETAL HEARTBEAT BEFORE PERFORMING AN ABORTION. THE WOMAN ALSO NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT TEST NOW, WHILE DOCTORS GENERALLY AGREE THAT CARDIAC RHYTHM CAN BE DETECTED AROUND SIX WEEKS, SOME TELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS THAT THE HEART DOESN’T ACTUALLY FORM UNTIL ABOUT EIGHT WEEKS, AND MANY DOCTORS DON’T EVEN SCHEDULE A FIRST ULTRASOUND UNTIL WEEKS AFTER THAT. UNITYPOINT IN DES MOINES SAYS PREGNANT WOMEN TYPICALLY HAVE THEIR FIRST PRENATAL VISIT. AN ULTRASOUND FOUND AT TEN WEEKS. WE’VE ALSO CONTACTED MERCYONE AND BROADLAWNS ABOUT WHEN THEIR DOCTORS SCHEDULE THE INITIAL ULTRASOUND BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. A DES MOINES REGISTER MEDIACOM IOWA POLL RELEASED BACK IN MARCH SHOWS A MAJORITY OF IOWANS WERE AGAINST RESTRICTING ABORTION. 21% OF PEOPLE SURVEYED SAID THAT THEY BELIEVE ABORTION SHOULD BE COMPLETELY LEGAL. 40% BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE LEGAL IN MOS
