Iowa lawmakers introduced a bill on Feb. 6, 2026, defining a fetus as a person from fertilization, making abortion a criminal act with murder penalties, except in life-threatening cases.
Iowa lawmakers introduced House File 2316 on February 6, 2026, proposing to criminalize abortion by defining an unborn child as a person from fertilization, subjecting fetuses to criminal and civil laws.
The bill would treat abortion as murder, allowing wrongful-death lawsuits and extending homicide penalties to unborn children, with exceptions for miscarriages and life-saving medical procedures for the mother.
If passed, it would be the strictest abortion law in Iowa’s history.
The measure is under review in the legislature with no vote scheduled.
