The Iowa Senate passed a bill 42-6 Wednesday to allow women to buy some forms of birth control without prescriptions.

Governor Reynolds supports the bill, which underscores her campaign promise to make birth control more accessible across Iowa.

The bill would allow birth control pills and some other forms of contraception to be available at pharmacies but behind the counter. A pharmacist would be able to dispense up to a year's worth of birth control to a woman who's over the age of 18.

The bill now goes to the Iowa House.
