In Iowa and across the country, a radical anti-abortion movement is attacking fundamental freedoms of reproductive autonomy and contraceptive rights, which has led us to write and file the Right to Contraception Act (RTCA) to ensure we protect access to contraception in Iowa law.
The RTCA is a testament to our unwavering commitment to safeguarding the dignity and rights of every Iowan and a response to radical and outrageous attacks on reproductive rights. The RTCA is not just about access to contraception — it is about affirming our values as a state that proclaims “our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain.”
Last year’s abortion ban is currently embroiled in legal battles, and the uncertainty of abortion access heightens the importance of swiftly passing the RTCA. Our proposal is a vital component of the broader fight for reproductive health, ensuring that the right to contraception remains protected in Iowa.
