COUNCIL BLUFFS — An estimated 300 people rallied Saturday to urge the Iowa Senate to debate and vote on an abortion bill.

The crowd showed support for House File 657, a bill that would ban abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy unless the woman's life was endangered.

“This bill protects the life of the unborn at 20 weeks, but also protects the life of the mother,” said State Rep. Mary Ann Hanusa, R-Council Bluffs.
