The joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Iowa Constitution that affirms the right to reproductive care as a fundamental individual right. It states that the state shall not deny or interfere with an individual's reproductive freedom, which encompasses a range of services including prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, contraception, sterilization, abortion care, miscarriage management, and infertility care. The resolution emphasizes that any infringement on this right must be justified by a compelling state interest and achieved through the least restrictive means. Additionally, it allows for regulation of abortion care after fetal viability, but prohibits the state from banning abortions deemed medically necessary by a healthcare professional to protect the life or health of the pregnant individual.

If adopted, the proposed amendment will be published and referred to the next general assembly for consideration, and ultimately submitted to voters for ratification. This process aims to ensure that the right to reproductive care is explicitly recognized and protected within the state's constitution.
