A bill for an act relating to the survival of, and the bringing of a cause of action for, wrongful death of an unborn child.

Iowa House File 106 (HF106) is a proposed law that would allow parents to file a wrongful death lawsuit if their unborn child dies due to someone else's actions. This means that if an unborn child is killed because of another person's wrongful act, neglect, or default, the parents could seek legal compensation for their loss.

Supporters of HF106 argue that it recognizes the value of unborn children and provides grieving parents with a legal avenue to seek justice. They believe the bill aligns with pro-life values by acknowledging the rights of the unborn and offering families a means to hold responsible parties accountable for their actions.

Critics of HF106 express concern that the bill could be a step toward granting personhood rights to fetuses, potentially impacting abortion rights. They worry that such legislation might be used to challenge existing reproductive rights and could lead to legal complications regarding women's autonomy over their bodies.
