Iowa Republican zeroes in on birth control access in heated Senate race

Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-Iowa) is advocating for expanded access to birth control as she campaigns for an open Senate seat. The Iowa congresswoman, who is running to succeed retiring Sen. Joni Ernst (R), recently reintroduced legislation aimed at reducing barriers to contraception. This push highlights birth control access as a key issue in the heated Iowa Senate race. Hinson's long-standing support for such efforts positions her on a topic that often sees partisan division, particularly among Republicans. Her legislative action seeks to improve the availability of contraception for Iowans.
