After state Rep. Shannon Lundgren’s comments about abortion and Iowa Senate File 53 went national, several friends asked me what-the-blank is going on in Iowa.

First, we have SF53, which says parents can take action to stop an abortion if the woman is under 18 or is unmarried at the time (http://bit.ly/2mZEX59).

According to the plain language of SF53, that would mean any unmarried woman, regardless of age.

What’s next? Will a bill be proposed to require women to seek permission from her nearest male relative to work outside the home or drive a car?
