There is not a line item in the state\u2019s budget for Planned Parenthood. Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Reynolds have ensured that Planned Parenthood is never reimbursed for an abortion. \u00a0There have been zero taxpayer-reimbursed Medicaid abortion procedures over the past two years.<\/p>\n<p>Because Gov. Branstad and Lt. Gov. Reynolds believe strongly that every life is worth protecting, they have asked the Iowa Department of Public Health to thoroughly review the funding the Legislature appropriated for women\u2019s health and the Family Planning Block Grant to ensure it does not and will not ever fund abortions or operations related to abortion procedures.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"holaa-580880496\" class=\"holaa-after-content\" style=\"margin-top: 2px;margin-bottom: 2px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><div class=\"holaa-adlabel\">Advertisements<\/div><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/progressiowa.org\/2023\/08\/take-action-with-progress-iowa\/?utm_source=news&#038;utm_medium=site&#038;utm_campaign=2026&#038;utm_id=News\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Progress Iowa Spanish 300&#215;250\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/holaamericanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Progress-Iowa-Spanish-300x250-1.png\" alt=\"\"  width=\"300\" height=\"250\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iowa Lt.
