Can I still get an abortion in Iowa? 

Yes. Abortion is still safe and legal in the U.S.

Even though the House Joint Resolution 5 amendment passed the house and senate in the 2021 legislative session, it's a long process. The amendment will need to pass the house and senate again in either the 2023 or 2024 legislative sessions. If that happens, the amendment will then be put on the ballot for voters to decide in November 2024.

What does Iowa’s proposed constitutional amendment on abortion mean for me?

Abortion is still safe and legal in the U.S. today.  A bill that would amend Iowa’s constitution to take away the right to abortion passed its first hurdle this year.  This is the first time that the legislature is proposing to remove rights from the state constitution, instead of protecting them.  The earliest the proposed amendment would be put to voters on the ballot is in 2024.

How much does it cost to get an abortion?

The cost of abortion varies and depends on whether or not you have health insurance that will cover some or all of the cost. Your abortion may be free or low-cost with health insurance, but some insurance plans don’t cover abortions. You can call your insurance provider directly to find out their policies.

If you’re worried about cost, call us at 1-800-230-7526 to see if we can get you health care that you can afford.

I'm under 18. Do I need my parent's permission?

Some states require parental notification for those under 18. To learn more about your local laws, you can call us at 1-800-230-7526 or reference this list of parental notification laws by state

A judge may be able to excuse you from the parental notification requirement through a “judicial waiver.” It's important you contact us right away if you need a judicial waiver because we can answer your questions about it and it can take added time to get through the process.

If you have questions, call 1-800-230-7526.
