Iowa AG pauses emergency contraception funding for sexual assault victims during audit completion.
Iowa Attorney General's office is still working on an audit of victim services, causing a hold on emergency contraception funding for sexual assault victims. Republican AG Brenna Bird paused funding to determine whether to continue payments. The audit, announced when Bird took office, is in its final stages, with a report expected soon. The policy under her Democratic predecessor, Tom Miller, had covered partial contraception costs for sexual assault victims, with rare cases including abortion costs.
