Iowa actually has a pretty impressive historical record of standardizing equality.


I guess I ought to do some research then, huh?


If i weren't so lazy, i'd have dug up some examples for you.

Here are a few i just found after a quick search:

'[Iowa's] Supreme Court refused to uphold slavery in 1839 – eighteen years before Dred Scott. Iowa struck down school segregation in 1868 – eighty-six years before Brown. And it was the first state to allow woman lawyers – in 1869. “In each of these instances,” wrote the Court in Friday’s marriage decision, “our state approached a fork in the road toward fulfillment of our constitution’s ideals and reaffirmed ‘absolute equality of all’ persons before the law.”'
