This is Marsy's Law at Work

While legislators discuss moving forward with a constitutional amendment in Iowa, there have been some special interest groups who have tossed around scary "what ifs" that could happen.

Quite the opposite - it's working. Victims are being heard. They are being protected. And if their rights are violated, they can actually do something about it. 

Real stories. Real victims. Real progress.
