VIDEOS: Iowa OB-GYN wants a hotline to Gov. Reynolds after abortion ban

By Iowa Production Staff

July 19, 2024

In states with abortion bans, doctors have had to watch pregnant patients get sicker and sicker before doctors can treat them.

Now that Iowa has one of the most restrictive bans in the country, Dr. Emily Boevers, an Iowa OB-GYN, said she hopes Gov. Kim Reynolds, who signed the bill into law, is ready for phone calls from physicians who want to know if a patient is sick enough to qualify for life-saving treatment.

Dr. Boevers also said Iowa’s near-total abortion ban is a cruel intrusion on Iowan’s rights and her ability to act as their doctor.

It’s been one year since Iowa’s near-total abortion ban took effect, and the numbers tell a devastating story. A 74% drop in abortion services in Iowa means Iowans are traveling hundreds of miles and paying thousands more for healthcare.

On this episode of Cornhole Champions, Zachary Oren Smith, Amie Rivers, and Avery Staker break down the real impact of Iowa’s restrictive abortion law on families and communities. From $19,000 emergency cases to overnight drives with young kids, we explore how the ban has forced care out of state.

Toss some bags at one-year of Iowa’s near-total abortion ban… Trump revoking visa workers in Ottumwa… And why LGBTQ Iowans are leaving…

WATCH: We spoke to LGBTQ Iowans who are leaving. We learned why. – Cornhole Champions #33

Iowa once led on civil rights, but now it’s leading the rollback. Over half of LGBTQ young people in Iowa have considered leaving the state, and for transgender and nonbinary people, that number jumps to 69%. Iowa became the first state in U.S. history to remove gender identity protections from civil rights law.

On this episode of Cornhole Champions, Zachary Oren Smith, Amie Rivers, Avery Staker, and intern Victor Robbins investigate the quiet exodus happening across Iowa. From doctors refusing gender-affirming care to hate crimes, and the reality behind “Iowa Nice,” we explore why talented young Iowans are fleeing and what it means for the state’s future.

WATCH: Trump revokes visas of 200 JBS workers in Ottumwa (PT 2) – Cornhole Champions #33

The irony is staggering: JBS subsidiary Pilgrim’s Pride donated $5 million to Trump’s inauguration, only to watch his administration immediately revoke visas for 200 of their Ottumwa workers from Haiti, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. These legal workers—nearly 10% of the plant’s workforce—are being told to leave the country immediately.

On this episode of Cornhole Champions, Zachary Oren Smith, Amie Rivers, and Avery Staker talk about Trump’s immigration crackdown and how its hitting Ottumwa.
