Will Mariannette Miller-Meeks Stand Up For Iowa Women?

TODAY: Iowa holds special legislative session to enact extreme abortion ban

Mariannette Miller-Meeks – who is so dangerously anti-abortion that she has endorsed a nationwide abortion ban with no exceptions in Congress – has paved the way for the Iowa Legislature to restrict abortion access to 6-weeks – in other words, before most women know they are pregnant.

In Congress, the anti-abortion SBA List endorsed Miller-Meeks has been a rubber-stamp for the extreme MAGA Republican agenda working overtime to rip away fundamental rights and freedoms by:

  • Co-sponsoring fervently anti-abortion legislation that further eliminates protections for abortion coverage for women with both private and public insurance.

  • Voting for anti-choice legislation that would limit health care access and potentially punish doctors.

  • Voting against consideration of the Women’s Health Protection Act which would have codified the reproductive freedoms Roe v. Wade guaranteed before the Supreme Court ripped them away.

  • Refusing to protect abortioncontraception, and interstate travel for abortion in the 117th Congress – voting against each.

DCCC spokesperson Courtney Rice:
“Iowans deserve a representative willing to stand up to attacks from the far-right on fundamental rights and freedoms. Unfortunately for Iowa women, Mariannette Miller-Meeks’ extreme position means she’s likely cheering on the state’s efforts to ban abortion. Come next November, she’ll be held accountable for her dangerous, life threatening agenda.”

REMINDER: Over 60% of Iowans believe abortion should be legal.
