The proposed joint resolution seeks to amend the Constitution of the State of Iowa to affirm and recognize the right to reproductive freedom as a fundamental individual right. It stipulates that the state cannot 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, the amendment allows for state regulation of abortion care after fetal viability, but it explicitly prohibits the state from banning abortions deemed medically necessary by a healthcare professional to protect the life or health of the pregnant individual. The resolution outlines the process for the proposed amendment to be published and referred to the next general assembly for consideration, ultimately requiring ratification by the electorate.
