The Iowa Senate has passed a bill that would let adult women in Iowa skip the requirement of a prescription and be able to buy birth control at the pharmacy counter.

First-term Republican Senator Mariannette Miller-Meeks, an eye doctor from Ottumwa who’s a former nurse AND the former director of the Iowa Department of Public Health, guided the bill through the senate. She urged her colleagues to trust women to make this decision.

The bill now goes to the Republican-led House for consideration.
