Vote Yes on SF208To ensure there is no loophole in Iowa law that would allow a pedophile to walk free of a crime committed against a child, pass this bill.

Absolutely in favor!! This stops the goal coveted by the pedophiles for decades. Start with gays and lesbians being accepted. Then married. Then deciding they are not what they were biologically born as so here are the transgenders. BUT the goal has always been MAPS to be allowed. All the sex trafficking and Epstein, Diddy evil are just tips of the depth of this evil. YES stop this evil in Iowa!! Lord bless you for standing firm!!!

Please vote yes on this bill to be proactive in keeping this loophole becoming a go around for sex offenders in Iowa's code.

Thank you for bringing this bill forward. I urge the subcommittee to pass this bill to help protect children in Iowa. It is unfortunate that we even have to have a bill like this, but I believe this is prudent foresight of a potential unintended consequence related to sexual orientation in the civil rights code. Pedophilia, no matter what name is goes by, has no place in Iowa. Thank you!
