Iowa bill advances to permit contraception without prescription.
A proposal to allow contraception without a prescription in Iowa has advanced. The bill, which has been supported by Governor Kim Reynolds and other Democratic state lawmakers, would provide greater access to contraceptives for women, potentially reducing unintended pregnancies and dependence on government assistance. However, opponents have raised concerns about the impact on women's health, particularly when a physician is not involved. The issue is set to be debated further in the Republican-led Iowa House.
