Media PerspectivesBelow are some current media stories with our added Christian perspective--we need to keep holding up God's truth in these changing times...
2-14-2011: A subcomittee in the Iowa legislature passed a bill promoting the idea that life begins at conception, House File 153. The bill is aimed at banning abortions with the idea that life should be “valued and protected” beginning at conception. The bill has to be voted on by the full House of Representatives where it is thought that it will pass. The bill will then go onto the Democratic-controlled Senate where its outcome is not certain. It is our belief that life does begin at conception and we agree that the state of Iowa should pursue a bill banning abortion.
1-20-11: The Republicans in the House of Representatives introduced a joint resolution that would start the ball rolling to eliminate equal marriage rights for same-sex couples through a constitutional amendment. This amendment would need to be voted on by the people of our state. It is our belief that marriage is between one man and one woman and support the effort to go forward with a vote by the people of Iowa on this resolution.
Follow-Up: The Iowa House of Representatives passed the resolution; however, when it moved to the Senate, it did not pass. Our House of Representatives has a Republican majority. Our Iowa Senate has a very slight Democratic majority.
