The Iowa Attorney General's Office will pay roughly $15,000 to reimburse more than 300 stalled claims for emergency contraceptives given to sexual assault victims after the office concluded a year-and-a-half audit. Last month, Republican Attorney General Brenna Bird announced her office had completed a "top-down, bottom-up" audit of her office's crime victim services division that had been ongoing since the beginning of last year. For the duration of the audit, the office had put on hold its longstanding practice of paying for sexual assault victims' morning-after pills and, in rare cases, abortions. Now that that audit has concluded, Bird said her office would resume payments for emergency contraceptives, such as Plan B and other similar medications meant to prevent a pregnancy.
