DES MOINES — The Iowa Knights of Columbus are making progress on their Culture of Life initiative, announced last year, to reduce the number of abortions in Iowa.
During the 115th state convention, held April 15-17 in Des Moines, the progress was announced. The Knights’ initiative had been turned over to a committee of 18, which contacted each of the 85-90 pro-life crisis pregnancy centers in the state to identify their needs, whether they have ultrasound machines or would consider adding ultrasound machines, said state convention director Paul Lee.
As part of creating an inventory list of crisis pregnancy centers, the Knights asked if there was any interest in having a statewide meeting, and there was, he said.
