DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Gov. Kim Reynolds and an aide are pushing back against a research model that forecasts that Iowa will see a late peak in coronavirus cases, nearly 1,400 deaths by August and a huge shortage of intensive care unit beds. Reynolds and Department of Public Health Deputy Director Sarah Reisetter said Wednesday that the model from University of Washington researchers doesn’t consider some of Iowa’s efforts to stop the spread, including school and business closures. They say they still expect Iowa’s cases to peak in mid to late April, which would be earlier than the April 30 date that the model projects.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Attorneys for Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds say her order halting elective medical procedures as part of the state’s coronavirus response does not halt all abortions in Iowa. The state and abortion providers have reached an agreement that some abortions may go forward in cases where women may have been forced by the delay to carry the pregnancy to term. The agreement prompted abortion providers including Planned Parenthood to drop the request for a court injunction halting enforcement of Reynolds’ order last week. Reynolds said the order was part of her coronavirus response aimed at preserving medical equipment and supplies.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — For Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, a drunken driving conviction nearly 20 years ago marked a turning point. After becoming the state’s first female governor, the Republican is using her experience as motivation for a campaign to restore the vote to felons that’s divided her from many in her own party. After recent changes in Kentucky, Virginia and Florida, Iowa is the only state with broad constitutional language that revokes voting for all felons. Some Republican lawmakers argue victims should be paid restitution before felons get voting rights back. The Legislature has suspended its session because of the coronavirus. It’s unclear whether lawmakers will return to the issue.
