Republican Senate candidate Joni Ernst has found the federal regulation that she could support: one that would effectively end legal abortion nationwide. In an interview Wednesday with the Sioux City Journal, Ernst said she would support a federal personhood amendment to the Constitution that would gives legal protections to fetuses after the moment of conception.
"I do believe in protecting life and I do believe most Iowans do believe in protecting life, and so I will continue to stand by that," Ernst said. "I am a pro-life candidate, and this has been shaped by my religious beliefs over the years so I support that."
