Last night, the Iowa House of Representatives passed a bill that could restrict women’s access to fertility treatments thanks in part to Mariannette Miller-Meeks, who has paved the way for these dangerous attacks on Iowans’ ability to start a family.
Miller-Meeks voted for nearly identical legislation in the state legislature in 2019 that would jeopardize Iowa women’s access to abortion, birth control, and IVF.
In Congress, Miller-Meeks co-sponsored the Life at Conception Act, a total national abortion ban that would also impose restrictions on IVF access. And instead of supporting legislation that guarantees the right to IVF, Miller-Meeks signed onto a “useless” resolution that actually does nothing to protect fertility treatments.
It’s not just her anti-IVF record she’s trying to cover up. She co-sponsored a bill she claims expands access to contraception – but in reality, critics have said is “essentially meaningless.”
DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“As Iowa moves one step closer to banning abortion and IVF, there’s no denying that Mariannette Miller-Meeks laid the groundwork for these efforts – and try as she might, she can’t hide the truth. Miller-Meeks is determined to make sure the government decides if, how, and when Iowans can start a family.”
