DES MOINES — Electing Democrat Fred Hubbell to be Iowa’s next governor in November could be “a game changer” for women seeking to push back against GOP-led efforts to limit their reproductive freedom and options, a top Planned Parenthood leader told a roundtable group Tuesday.Dawn Laguens, executive vice president of Planned Parenthood’s political action committee, said Iowa is a “bellwether” state that swung to President Donald Trump and a Republican takeover of the Iowa Statehouse in 2016.But there are signs of “the resistance” now being “on the rise” to elect new leaders, she said.“The action is in Iowa, and I think this is where people see the fight and it’s getting increasingly on the radar,” said Laguens, who joined Hubbell and about two dozen Iowans to discuss health care concerns at a downtown Planned Parenthood office.“You have the whole Trump piece but now you see the resistance, if you will, and a change in direction, I think because people see that this has not been changing people’s economic fortunes for good.
