As the mother of a son with a severe disabilities who passed away almost forty years ago I had-- with the guidance of doctors and loving care-takers -- to make many painful decisions about his life. The idea that Iowa legislators (or any politicians) would be involved in ANY of these decisions is unconscionable.
I don’t understand why Republicans would place this poison pill in their own legislation. Perhaps the lawyers were some how attempting to inoculate the law against a predicted attack in the courts. I presume the opposition has their briefs ready to file the moment Reynolds signs this into law. Great work Laura!
