Miller-Meeks Marches Toward a Nationwide Abortion Ban: Attacking Service Members’ Access to Reproductive Care

Yesterday, Mariannette Miller-Meeks voted for new, extreme restrictions on abortion care for 350,000 active duty women in the military.

House Republicans, including Miller-Meeks, voted overwhelmingly to insert a far-right amendment that would restrict service members’ ability to seek and access essential reproductive care, undermining bipartisan efforts to strengthen health care for our armed forces.

Miller-Meeks is paving the way for a national abortion ban with her vote on new restrictions for service members. 

This is hardly a surprise after Miller-Meeks co-sponsored a national abortion ban with no exceptions for rape, incest, or the woman’s life.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“If it’s a day that ends in ‘Y’, Miller-Meeks will vote for national abortion restrictions. She is more interested in attacking the reproductive freedoms of our country’s service members than ensuring our troops have the support they need, and Iowans won’t forget how wrong Miller-Meeks’ attacks are when they head to the polls in November.”
