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 restrictions on this right must be justified by a compelling state interest and implemented through the least restrictive means. Additionally, it allows for regulation of abortion care after fetal viability, but ensures that no abortion can be prohibited if 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 solidify the right to reproductive care within the state's constitutional framework, reflecting a commitment to protecting individual autonomy in reproductive health decisions.
