These "Pro-Life" guys kept abortion legal in Iowa

Iowa Republicans just killed their own "Life at Conception" bill — right after the Abolitionist Rising "Justice Alone" Conference wrapped up in Des Moines (Feb 6-10, 2026). What happened to the pro-life trifecta?In early February 2026:HF2316 (life at fertilization, treating post-fertilization abortion as homicide with full criminal penalties) was introduced by 8 reps and sent to Judiciary (chaired by Rep. Steve Holt) — but never scheduled for subcommittee.HF2332 (Life at Conception Act, criminalizing elective abortion/feticide but sparing IVF) had 24 co-sponsors and was set for subcommittee on Feb 17... until Rep. Jon Dunwell canceled it on Feb 16.Dunwell's statement: "While I remain deeply committed to protecting life from the moment of conception, the current legislative landscape and timing are not optimal... Instead, focus on cracking down on black-market abortion pills."This begs the question: If abortion is murder (as pro-lifers have said for years), why won't Iowa Republicans pass a bill that treats it as such — and hold accomplices accountable? Why back down when the rubber meets the road? Why prioritize unregulated pills over abolishing abortion outright?From the Abolitionist Rising conference to the Capitol halls, this video breaks down the hypocrisy, the bills' differences, and why "if not now, when?" Funnel week is here — time to rise up.
