Gov. Kim Reynolds is calling lawmakers back to the Iowa Capitol for a rare special session to pass new abortion restrictions after suffering a defeat at the Iowa Supreme Court.

Reynolds, a Republican, announced Wednesday she would call the special session for July 11 “with the sole purpose of enacting legislation that addresses abortion and protects unborn lives.”

“I believe the prolife movement is the most important human rights cause of our time,” Reynolds said in a statement.

“Not only will I continue to fight against the inhumanity of abortion, but I will also remain committed to supporting women in planning for motherhood, promoting fatherhood and parenting, and continuing policies that encourage strong families.”
