Some Republican lawmakers in Iowa say they're on a mission to protect human life.

They've introduced a bill which would outlaw abortion in the state and allow prosecution of doctors who perform the procedure, some could even be charged with murder.

Planned Parenthood is calling the legislation extreme and unconstitutional.

The bill will likely face problems if it makes it to the senate, where Democrats hold a majority.
