Summary

The resolution would amend Iowa’s constitution to recognize reproductive freedom as a fundamental individual right, covering services from contraception to abortion. The state could only limit that right if it shows a compelling interest and uses the least restrictive means, and any post‑viability abortion regulation cannot bar abortions that a doctor deems medically necessary. The amendment must be referred to the legislature, published for three months, and then placed on the ballot for voter approval.
