Four Years After Dobbs, Zach Nunn Is Still Working To Ban Abortion

Four years after the Supreme Court ripped reproductive rights away from millions of women and allowed Iowa to pass its extreme abortion ban, Zach Nunn has continued the work of further dismantling abortion rights in Congress.

Nunn’s record is clear: he endangered women’s lives by giving politicians like himself power over decisions that belong to women and their doctors. 

  • Nunn said he believes abortion should be illegal without exceptions and raised his hand in support of banning abortion nationwide without exceptions for rape, incest, or the life of the woman.
  • Nunn voted for Iowa’s near-total abortion ban in 2018 – a ban that is “nearly identical” to the 2023 heartbeat ban.
  • Nunn voted to eliminate the right to an abortion entirely in Iowa and supported bills that would threaten access to abortion, IVF, and contraception.
  • Nunn touted his 100% pro-life voting record.
  • Nunn voted for a backdoor effort to pressure states with established legal protections for abortion into gradually stripping away abortion rights.

DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith: 
“Zach Nunn worked for years to overturn Roe and ban abortion, denying Iowa women the freedom to make their own health care decisions. With his infamous hand raise making his support for an abortion ban without exceptions clear, Nunn’s agenda is out-of-step with Iowa voters who will reject him this November.”
