Candidate affirms life begins at conception and personhood from conception
FALSE (0)
1 claim

  1. As Iowa state representative (HD-71 since 2019), James publicly opposed Iowa's near-total abortion ban, sharing a constituent's high-risk pregnancy story to argue against restrictions; she was part of the Iowa House Democratic caucus's explicit 2025 agenda to restore 'reproductive freedom,' advance a state constitutional amendment protecting abortion access, and safeguard IVF.
