SF326 authorizes pharmacists to order and administer self-administered hormonal contraceptives to individuals aged eighteen years and older.
The Iowa State Senate passed SF326 on March 15, 2023 by a vote of 45 to 3. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this is completely immoral. This is a win and cash grab for the pharmaceutical industry, providing hormonal contraceptives without requiring individuals to consult their physicians to determine if it’s the right decision for them. This could result in fewer women seeking medical advice, potentially leading to missed illnesses. Moreover, it raises concerns about potential misuse by human traffickers with unrestricted access to contraceptives.
