SF 2057 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the right to contraception.

SF 2057, the "Right to Contraception Act," establishes a statutory right for Iowans to access contraceptives and for healthcare providers to offer them. It prohibits restrictions that single out contraceptive services, providers, or facilities, or that impede access regardless of a person's race, gender identity, income, disability, or location. The bill requires any government limitation on contraception to be justified by "clear and convincing evidence" that it significantly advances safety and cannot be achieved through less restrictive means. This directly affects all Iowans seeking reproductive healthcare and healthcare providers delivering contraception services, ensuring equal access to these essential health services.
