        Nope. The additional thoughtcrime charge raises the crime to a felony.

        “But quindraco, the first amendment guarantees freedom of thought and this should be a felony on its own merits regardless of the perp’s personal opinions!”

        You’re not wrong, but Iowa doesn’t seem to care.
