Episode Details

Iowa’s new abortion law mandates in-person visits and a 24-hour waiting period before medication abortions, adding significant hurdles for patients despite telehealth options from out-of-state providers. Legal experts note the law only applies to Iowa clinics, but opponents warn it still blocks access for many due to travel and time costs. As Planned Parenthood consolidates services, they vow to keep medication abortion available and offer patient navigators to help. This latest restriction joins other recent bans, deepening access challenges in a state already heavily regulated.
