Hinson, Miller-Meeks push for over-the-counter birth control

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : Several states already have restricted access to contraception by cutting off public funding for it, defining abortion broadly enough to include contraception, and allowing health care providers to refuse to provide services related to contraception based on their own personal beliefs, according to House Democrats.
42% : After passing a bill to protect same-sex and interracial marriages amid concerns that the U.S. Supreme Court overturning a federal right to abortion access could jeopardize other rights criticized by conservatives, the U.S. House is poised to vote to establish a right to contraception nationwide.
33% : The bill, which was backed by Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds and Planned Parenthood, however, failed to win support in the Iowa House and died in the 2019 legislative session.
