Iowa Stops Paying for Rape Victims’ Morning After Pills

“The Iowa Attorney General’s Office has put on hold its longstanding practice of paying for emergency contraception, and in rare cases abortions, for victims of sexual assault,” the Des Moines Register reports.

“Iowa law and federal regulations require the state to pay for many of the expenses facing assault survivors who seek medical help, including the costs of forensic examinations and treatments for sexually transmitted infections.”
