Council Bluffs, Iowa—May 5, 2011—With pending pro-life legislation hanging in the balance, Council Bluffs residents are coming together again to ensure that Iowa does not become the late-term abortion capital of the Midwest.

A rally will be held this Saturday, May 7, at 10:30 am. Due to the expected crowd, this event will be held outdoors at Bayliss Park, in the Performance Space, 100 Pearl Street in Council Bluffs. Local speakers will be joined by Rep. Mary Ann Hanusa.

“With state-wide, bi-partisan support for the Late-Term Abortion Ban (HF 657), Iowans now recognize that with one statement from Senator Gronstal; “Yes, we will debate this bill”, this ban would ultimately become law”, stated Jenifer Bowen, Executive Director of Iowa Right to Life.

“Such a diverse, strong local leadership and grassroots voice should not be quelled by one man, their Senator, Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal. The citizens of Council Bluffs have worked unwaveringly, in unison, for months to keep a notorious late-term abortionist out of their city and ultimately out of our state,”
