Iowa ranks last in OB/GYNs per capita. But tomorrow, Iowa Republicans will debate limiting telehealth access to medication abortion anyway. Clearly, this isn't about health. It's about CONTROL. Tell your state rep: Stop attacking our rights and personal decisions! Oppose HF 2788 NOW!

53 years after Roe, reproductive freedom should be guaranteed. Instead, MAGA lawmakers in Iowa banned abortion at 6 weeks & celebrate controlling our bodies while Iowans struggle for healthcare. This isn't leadership, it's dangerous overreach. That's why we fight for real healthcare access for all.
