House committee adds "fetal heartbeat" language to abortion bill

Republicans on an Iowa House committee want to go even further than current state law when it comes to abortions.  They voted Thursday to add language outlawing an abortion if a doctor can hear a fetal heartbeat to a measure outlawing the sale or donation of fetal tissue.  Democrats ripped Republicans for their action, but the committee passed the measure and it's now eligible for debate in the House.
