WATCH: Iowa’s maternal health care crisis, explained

Iowa is in a maternal health crisis.

With one of the most restrictive abortion policies in the country since the overturning of Roe v. Wade (three years ago this week), clinics and hospitals are having a hard time recruiting OB-GYNs.

Iowa’s year-old statewide abortion ban prohibits most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy, before many women even know they’re pregnant.

Dr. Karla Solheim reflects on Iowa’s maternal health care scene since the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision that overturned the decades-long protections for women that were secured from Roe v. Wade.

WATCH: Woman who confronted Joni Ernst at town hall reacts to viral response

At a Parkersburg town hall, Senator Joni Ernst faced fierce pushback as she defended the Trump Administration's cuts to Medicaid. India May was in the audience when she shouted at Ernst that "people will die" if kicked off Medicaid. Ernst responded, "Well, we all are going to die." The exchange went viral and prompted an equally tone-deaf apology video from Ernst the next day.

On the latest episode of Cornhole Champions, Amie sat down with May to talk Ernst's response, Iowa's health care crisis, and May's campaign for Iowa House in 2026.
