Iowa HSB704 regulates abortion procedures, informed consent, and reporting of abortion-inducing drug complications.

Iowa HSB704 modifies the definition of abortion to exclude spontaneous terminations of pregnancy where not all products of conception are expelled. It mandates that physicians perform an in-person examination of pregnant women seeking abortions, including screening for coercion or abuse. Physicians must inform women about specific health and safety information related to abortion-inducing drugs before prescribing them. Hospitals and physicians must report abortion-inducing drug complications to the Department of Health and Human Services.
