Numerous issues regarding mothers, women and children are among the concerns for the Iowa Catholic Bishops for the 2025 legislative session, which begins Jan. 8. Tom Chapman, executive director for the Iowa Catholic Conference (ICC), the official public policy voice of the bishops of Iowa, shared a few of the issues he anticipates will be discussed at the Iowa state legislature in the coming months.
"There does not appear to be enough support for additional abortion prohibitions at this time," Chapman pointed out.
However, he said there is a concern regarding abortion pills and the ease of access akin to a “black market.”
