A new Iowa bill would end a requirement for women to seek their spouses' consent before receiving a hysterectomy.
The bill, which was introduced by state House Republicans, passed unanimously in the House in March, but was met with opposition in the Senate, according to the Des Moines Register.
House File 684 stated that it would free women, aged 18 or older, in the state from obtaining permission from their spouses in order to receive the medical procedure that removes the uterus. House lawmakers have argued that some doctors are still operating under the requirement, though they declined to name any.
