After the law took effect, that dropped by 38% to an estimated 250 abortions in August.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the report was used by the Guttmacher Institute to sow fear and rally anti-life support, their data appears to be accurate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This report demonstrates the positive impact that Iowa\u2019s heartbeat law has had for the unborn in Iowa. A 38% decrease in abortion is a significant pro-life victory and should be celebrated as a major gain in our state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, the report also reveals the work that still needs to be done. The fact that \u201conly\u201d 250 babies are legally murdered each month in our state is a very sad reflection on our society\u2019s moral climate.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Guttmacher Institute report serves as both a sign of hope and a call to action for the pro-life movement in Iowa.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/warrens-voice.com\/?page_id=360\">**How much is a local, conservative voice worth to you?
