Iowa politicians just passed a near-total abortion ban after allowing just one day for debate at the Capitol. The bill is headed to Gov. Reynolds desk to be signed.
We will continue to provide abortion care to the extent legally allowed. We will also help patients who will be impacted by this ban connect with providers and resources to keep their bodily autonomy. And, we will work with partners to challenge this law in the courts.
Every person deserves the freedom to control their lives, bodies, and futures. Thank you for everything you have been doing to protect and support essential sexual and reproductive health care. Together, we will continue to be there for our patients and our communities, no matter what.
